Abstract

Summary form only given. The multi-beam klystron (MBK) enjoys high efficiency, a consequence of the low perveance of the individual beamlets, while operating at a low beam voltage due to the high total perveance. The plasma wavelength is less than that of a conventional single beam klystron, allowing a significant reduction in the length of the device. MBKs are, therefore, especially attractive in lower frequency accelerator applications. Described in this paper is the L6102-50 MBK, currently being developed at L-3 Communications Electron Devices, which is designed to the DESY TESLA (Tera electron volt energy superconducting linear accelerator) specification, which calls for a 10 MW peak, 150 kW average power MBK at 1300 MHz.
