A compact annular-cathode electron gun which allows direct, efficient injection into the accelerating structure of a racetrack microtron was designed, built, and tested. The gun operates under pulsed conditions with applied high voltages of 40 kV or more and delivers an output current in excess of 1 A. Design and construction details are presented for both a basic gun and a gun with built-in output current monitor. Gun performance in a test chamber and in the multicavity racetrack microtron at the University of Western Ontario is described. (AIP)
