Are Coaxial Super Power Gyrotrons Feasible?

Limits on the power generated by coaxial gyrotrons are investigated. It is shown that among all the operating modes suggested recently for coaxial super power gyrotrons only modes with azimuthal index m lower than about 44 pass the spatial stochasticity test. Modes with higher azimuthal indices cannot be used as operating modes because gyrotron oscillations become chaotic in the azimuthal direction and efficiency is very low. It is argued that there exists a natural upper limit on power generated by gyrotrons which is about 4 MW.     

Numerical Study of Mode Competition in Coaxial Cavity Gyrotrons with Corrugated Insert

A time-dependent self-consistent multimode code which allows to model the interaction between the modes of a coaxial cavity gyrotron operating at the fundamental and/or at higher harmonics of the cyclotron frequency is presented. The Method of Moments (MoM) is used to obtain a rigorous solution of the eigenvalue problem for a coaxial waveguide with corrugated insert. It is shown that the use of the Surface Impedance Model for the calculation of modes operating at higher harmonics leads to incorrect results in high-power coaxial cavity gyrotrons. However, the numerical simulations based on the MoM agree well with the available experimental results.     

Advanced Numerical and Experimental Investigation for Gyrotrons Helical Electron Beams

The paper presents a modern approach to studies of characteristics of intense helical electron beams (HEBs) for gyrotrons. The essence of the method consists in finding functions of electron distribution with respect to oscillatory velocities in the beam both by numerical simulation and experimentally. Experimental and calculated data for beams with different topologies were compared in different frequency ranges. Evolution of the electron oscillatory velocities distribution function as the beam current grows has been traced. Influence of the reflected electrons on beam parameters has been simulated numerically.

The Design of Megawatt Gyrotrons

The design parameters of a 120-GHz gyromonotron capable of output powers in excess of 1 MW are determined. A nonlinear model of the interaction between the beam and RF field is used in which the efficiency is a function of only three normalized variables. By expressing the technological constraints in terms of these variables, permissible design parameters yielding high-efficiency operation can be calculated. Constraints that are considered include ohmic heating of the walls, voltage depression of the beam, reduced coupling between the beam and RF field due to beam thickness, and efficiency degradation due to space-charge forces within the beam. An analysis of the trade-offs between current and voltage at the 1-MW level indicates that lower-order modes can be utilized at lower voltages, but the constraints based on current limitations are difficult to satisfy. An 80-kV 29-A design is presented that achieves a total efficiency of 44 percent. The primary uncertainty of these designs is the severity of competition due to parasitic modes. However, a number of isolated asymmetric modes appear capable of single-mode emission at 1 MW based on present experimental results. Multimegawatt operation is also considered. It is shown that powers exceeding 20 MW are possible if single-mode operation can be achieved in very-high-order modes. The methodology presented in this paper is general and can be easily adapted to other frequencies and output powers.

Modelling and Simulation of Magnetron Infection Guns for Submillimeter Wave Gyrotrons

The software package GUN-MIG has been developed for computer simulation of beam formation in magnetron injection guns (MIG). It is based on a fully relativistic self-consistent physical model which takes into account the specific problems and requirements that are being encountered in the analysis and design of MIG for gyrotrons. Besides providing a general outline of the physical models and the program implementation of the code, several illustrative examples of the numerical experiments with real MIG for submillimeter wave gyrotrons are presented and discussed.     

Formation and Diagnostics of Intense Relativistic Helical Electron Beams for Gyrotrons

We develop a magnetron-injection gun for a 1-cm wavelength gyrotron, which allows us to increase the operating current up to 50% of the Langmuir current of the gun by reducing the time required to bring electrons to the high-potential region. To measure the velocity distributions in helical electron beams for energies of several hundreds of keV, we propose, develop, and study a new electron-velocity distribution analyzer based on the phenomenon of electron reflection from an adiabatic magnetic mirror. The results of our study demonstrate that the gun is capable of forming high-quality intense beams suitable for generating microsecond microwave radiation with power higher than 10 MW in gyrotrons.

Investigations of the dielectronic recombination of phosphorus-like tin at CSRm

The electron–ion recombination for phosphorus-like~(112) Sn~(35+)has been measured at the main cooler storage ring of the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou, China, employing an electron–ion merged-beams technique. The absolute total recombination rate coefficients for electron–ion collision energies from 0 e V–14 e V are presented. Theoretical calculations of recombination rate coefficients were performed using the Flexible Atomic Code to compare with the experimental results. The contributions of dielectronic recombination and trielectronic recombination on the experimental rate coefficients have been identified with the help of the theoretical calculation. The present results show that the trielectronic recombination has a substantial contribution to the measured electron–ion recombination spectrum of~(112)Sn~(35+). Although a reasonable agreement is found between the experimental and theoretical results the precise calculation of the electron–ion recombination rate coefficients for M-shell ions is still challengeable for the current theory.     

Higher Harmonic Operations of Submillimeter Wave Gyrotrons (Gyrotron FU Series)

Higher harmonic operation of gyrotrons is necessary to obtain high frequencies. Some gyrotrons included in the Gyrotron FU series developed at Fukui University have achieved operation at the third and even fourth harmonics of the electron cyclotron frequency. The output lies in the millimeter to submillimeter wavelength range and the output powers are several watts to several tens of watts. In this paper, the gyrotrons and the conditions under which they operate are described in detail.
