Abstract :
Development of 170 GHz-long pulse gyrotrons for ITER is underway in JAERI. A cooling system was enhanced for CW gyrotron operation and a pre-programming control of a cathode heater power was introduced. As a preliminary result, stable quasi-steady-state oscillations of 450s /0.2 MW and 600s /0.13MW were obtained. An oscillation test tube with higher order mode TE31,12 in cylindrical cavity and a high efficiency built-in mode converter has been developed for an advanced gyrotron system. In an initial experiment, performances of 1 MW /short pulse, the efficiency of 28% without depressed collector were obtained and measured output RF profile was in good agreement with the design.
