Simulation of a klystron gun

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6716116
A two-dimensional, fully relativistic particle-in-cell code was used to present time-dependent and fully electromagnetic simulations of the operational characteristics of the XK-5 klystron gun used at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The beam current density and perveance were consistent with experimental and numerical results. The beam current density exhibited time-dependent noise, but no significant electromagnetic gun oscillations were observed. A particle-in-cell simulation of the full klystron, including all cavities, is feasible but expensive.
