Motivation
• Develop a transportable, modular system, employing four novel W-band Sheet Beam Klystron (SBK) devices (each capable of 2.5 kW of average power) and producing a minimum of 10 kW of 95 GHz radiation. Higher powers can be produced by adding more SBKs and combining their output powers either by waveguide multiplexing, or in space.
Original SLAC MURI Concept
Original SLAC MURI WSBK Design Parameters
Beam voltage: 74 kVBeam current: 3.6 A Peak power: 50 kWAverage power: 2.5 kW Efficiency: 20%Gain: 40 dBBrillouin Magnetic field: 1000 Gauss (RMS)Number of cavities: 8 Circuit length (wg to wg): 9 cmBeam size (elliptical): 6 mm x 0.5 mm (12 : 1)Drift tube size (rectangular): 8 mm x 0.72 mm
• Gun redesign: the original beam stick gun which produced high efficiency (91 %) transport was extremely sensitive to alignment ( 0.002” vertical misalignment would lose 40% of the beam in the gun). The anode aperture was therefore opened to reduce the anode hole effects
•Magnet stack redesigned.
Maximum beam transmission of 78 % at full design voltage and cathode current-attributed to magnetization of the gun weld ring resulting in beam rotation** Maximum output power of > 11 kW and ~ 48 dB gain observed using sensitive external adjustments of the shunts and cavity tuning using retrofitted cavity tuners. Low output is (as indicated by the test data) due to a combination of poor output coupling involving higher modes, field cancellation at the design frequency, beam and bunch formation, and cavity mistuning.
*Summary of initial tests at SLAC and subsequent tests at UC Davis.**Magnetization problem eliminated by proper choice of stainless steel
• Summary of Prototype WSBK Test Results
Amelioration of Technical Issues(1) Anode Flange Magnetization
• Replace 304L S.S. with 310 S.S. which cannot be magnetized
• Carry out complete 3D Gun and Magnetic field (re-)simulations to verify/modify design using CST Particle-Studio, Advanced Charged-particle Design Suite from Field Precision, and Ansoft Maxwell 3D simulation packages.
• Independent modeling assessment by Stan Humphries of Field Precision(2) Incorrectly Machined Input Cavity
• Proper input cavity design/fabrication eliminates/ameliorates mode competition problem
(3) Incorrectly Designed Output Cavity (7-Gap)
• Re-design the output cavity Quasi-Optical (QO) cavity
(4) Incorporation of cavity tuners
(5) Extensive MAGIC3D simulations to determine optimum design
