Conference ·
OSTI ID:7051046

The present conference discusses nonlinear mode-competition effects on low-gain FEL oscillator efficiency, high-power travelling-wave amplifier experiments, the operation of a multi-GW relativistic klystron amplifier, turbutron spectra, the linear theory of transvertron microwave sources, novel gigatron technologies for microwave power devices, a preliminary cusptron amplifier, proposed injection-locking of a long-pulse relativistic magnetron, phase-locking demonstrations of a high power vircator, and the initial operation of a Cherenkov cyclotron autoresonance maser. Also discussed are tunable microwigglers for FELs, decoy discrimination using ground-based high-power microwaves, curved electromagnetic missiles, acoustic and electromagnetic bullets, spiral line recirculating induction accelerators, the transport of intense, high-brightness H(-) beams, the stability of compact recirculating accelerators, volume production of hydrogen negative ions, processes in a Li negative-ion source, electrostatic accelerators for negative ion beams, and intense neutralized beams.
