Abstract :
This paper presents a high-power, high brightness gun design for an 11.4 GHz magnicon amplifier. Results of gun geometry optimization, and gun matching to the magnetic system, are described. A method to eliminate beam halo, decrease beam emittance, and reduce the effect of gun tolerances, is proposed
