Abstract :
A 34 GHz peniotron, designed for high device efficiency and power output has been constructed at UC Davis. The device is designed for second-harmonic interaction with the axis-encircling beam produced by a Northrop Grumman cusp gun and is predicted to produce 125 kW peak output power. Magnetics have been recently redesigned, built and tested. Recent efforts have concentrated on final assembly of the device and improvement of the modulator.
