Title :
Progress in relativistic klystron research
Abstract :
Summary form only given. Experimental work at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory is continuing towards the development of a relativistic klystron capable of supplying RF power to a next-generation high-gradient linear collider. With the latest modifications to the relativistic klystron, it has been possible to obtain over 300 MW of pulsed RF power (in pulse widths of 30-40 ns) at 11.4 GHz. This power has been used to accelerate electrons in a short length of high-gradient accelerator section. Efforts are now underway to investigate RF breakdown limitations in multiple high-gradient accelerator sections using this power
