Final design and cold tests of a harmonic ubitron amplifier

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6723388
A harmonic ubitron amplifier has been designed and is nearing final assembly. The experiment is intended to be a proof-of-principle study of the feasibility of harmonic operation of the ubitron. Harmonics are a key in reducing the high voltage requirements of ubitrons. The configuration of the experiment consists of a 250kV/100A electron gun, an input transition from single mode to overmoded waveguide, a linear wiggler, mode selective output couplers, and a calorimeter/water load. The design and goals of the overall experiment will be discussed along with the design and test results of individual components.
