Gyrotron utilizing a relativistic ultra high vacuum electron beam filled with plasma
Description
An experimental study has been made of a gyrotron which utilizes a relativistic ultra high vacuum electron beam with an electron energy of 320 eV, a current of 1.2 kA and a pulse duration of 30 ns. A previously produced plasma was used to compensate the space charge in the beam. Microwave oscillation was obtained in the expected TE13 mode, with lambda = 3 +- 0.1 cm, an output power of 60 MW and a conversion efficiency of electron-beam energy into radiation of approximately 15%. The dependence of the output power on the plasma density was investigated. (author)
