Abstract :
A klystron designed to operate at 11.4 GHz and 440 kV is presently Stanford Linear Accelerator Center´s (SLAC´s) strongest RF power source candidate for the Next Linear Collider. It is expected to provide 100 MW of RF power with a pulse width of 1 mu s. The authors describe progress in the development of this device including results from single- and double-gap output cavities and various styles of RF output windows. The design parameters for this klystron are shown. Three X-band klystrons have been designed to test various alternatives to RF windows, output cavities, and beam optics. At this time 72-MW RF power has been generated with a pulse width of 100 ns and 35 MW has been generated at 800 ns.<>
