FIRST OPERATING TEST OF THE 700 MHz 1 MW PROTOTYPE KLYSTRON FOR A PROTON ACCELERATOR

  • Published : 2006.12.01

Abstract

The design, manufacturing process, and first operating test of a high power RF source for a proton accelerator are described. A klystron amplifier system has been developed for operation at 700 MHz, 1 MW and is composed of a triode type electron gun, six cavities, an RF output window, a beam collector, and an electromagnet. The prototype klystron was constructed and tested at a reduced duty to produce the designed output RF power.
