Khanh T. Nguyen,Dean E. Pershing,David K. Abe,B. Levush,F.N. Wood,Jeffrey P. Calame,John Pasour,John J. Petillo,M. Cusick,M. Cattelino,E. Wright +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the detailed design of an eight-beam electron gun for use in S-band multiple-beam amplifiers operating in the fundamental mode, which achieves excellent beam transport characteristics with a final beam-to-tunnel radial fill factor less than 0.45.

M. Cusick,John Atkinson,Adam Balkcum,G. Caryotakis,Deepika Gajaria,Thomas Grant,C. Meyer,K. Lind,Mark Perrin,G. Scheitrum,Aaron Jensen +10 more
- 28 Apr 2009
TL;DR: The sheet beam klystron (SBK) is characterized by a large drift tube, which allows the use of high beam current at a low voltage, resulting in low beam current density, high efficiency and the possibility of PPM focusing as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 1.3 GHz, 10 MW multiple beam klystron was developed for the TESLA linear accelerator facility, and the design parameters for the device were 10 MW peak RF output power with 150 kW average power, 1.5 ms pulse length, 65% efficiency, 50 dB gain, 4 MHz 1 dB bandwidth, 114 kV beam voltage, 131 A total beam current (emitted by the six cathodes) and 2.0 A/cm/sup 2/ maximum cathode loading.
