Abstract

FAR-TECH, Inc. is developing and building a 36 kV, 830 kW klystron for the International Linear Collider (ILC) testing program. A variant of the tube can also be used to supply RF energy for a 2 or 3 meter section of ILC. The tube design is of the multiple-beam klystron (MBK) type, using ten beams with confined flow focusing. The design optimizes small tube size and low cost. The initial prototype will use an electromagnet, but the design allows for the eventual use of a permanent magnet solenoid. An efficiency of 65% is expected. We will present the design and status of the construction of the klystron and supporting systems.
