Study of gain in C-band deflection cavities for afrequency-doubling magnicon amplifier

An experimental study of the gain between two half-wavelength, 5.7-GHz TM₁₁₀ mode pillbox cavities, separated by a quarter-wavelength drift space, and powered by a 170-A, 500-keV electron beam immersed in an 8.1-kG magnetic field is reported. These cavities constitute the first section of a planned multicavity deflection system, whose purpose is to spin up an electron beam to high transverse momentum (α≡υ⊥/υ_z⩾1) for injection into the output cavity of a frequency-doubling magnicon amplifier. A gain of ~15 dB was observed in the preferred circular polarization, at a frequency shift of approximately -0.18%, in the opposite circular polarization, at a frequency shift of approximately +0.06%. These results are in good agreement with theory     

双阳极磁控注入枪设计参数对其性能的影响分析

 对34GHz基波回旋管双阳极磁控注入枪的优化做了详细的研究和计算，数值模拟了阳极电压、注电流、枪体尺寸加工误差、外加直流磁场等因素对电子枪的影响。模拟结果表明：增大阳极电压不但可以提高速度比，而且可以降低横向速度零散。磁场压缩比减小，使电子注具有最小速度零散的电流值增大；同时，电子注的速度比降低，最小横向速度零散值也增大。必须慎重选择阳极形状，以提高电子枪的性能并保证电子注的稳定性；同时，还发现由于阳极结构的变化导致阴极电场分布的变化，使电子注的注电流在各因子变化过程中出现了微小的扰动。减小Bc可以增大电子注的速度比，还可以减小电子注的横向速度零散，但是当电子注的速度比增大到一定值时，电子注的性能就会变得不太稳定。     

170 GHz回旋管大束流双阳极磁控注入电子枪的分析及设计

 基于绝热压缩原理和强流电子光学理论,设计了一只170 GHz回旋管双阳极磁控注入电子枪,经过理论分析及计算,采用仿真软件进行模拟和优化,最终得到的电子枪的电子注速度比为1.31,横向速度零散度为3.5%,纵向速度零散度为6.1%,束电流为51 A。讨论了阴极磁场、控制阳极电压和第二阳极电压等因素对电子注性能的影响,发现电子注的速度比和速度零散度对这些影响因子的变化都非常敏感:随着阴极磁场的增大,电子注的速度比减小,纵向速度零散度先增大后减小,横向速度零散度先减小后增大;阳极角越接近阴极倾角,纵向速度零散度越小;阳极角向着减小阴阳极间距的方向变化时横向速度零散度变小;增大第一阳极电压可以增大电子注的速度比和电子注的速度零散度。在两阳极电压不变的情况下,增大阴阳极之间的距离会使电子注的速度零散度和电子注的速度比减小。     

Experimental investigation of a 140 GHz gyrotron-backward wave oscillator

We report the experimental operation of a voltage tunable gyrotron backward wave oscillator (gyro-BWO) in the frequency range near 140 GHz. Voltage tunability is an important feature of the gyro-BWO for application as a fast tuning source for driving high power free electron lasers or cyclotron autoresonance maser amplifiers. The gyro-BWO operated in an overmoded cylindrical waveguide structure in the TE_1,2 mode. The electron beam source was a Pierce-wiggler gun producing an 80 kV, 6.2 A beam. Frequency tuning with voltage between 134 and 147 GHz was achieved in the TE_1,2 mode with constant magnetic field. However, this tuning was found to be discontinuous. Output powers of up to 2 kW and 2% efficiency were found, significantly below theoretical predictions for a cold beam. The theoretical beam velocity spread was modeled by a 3D beam transport code. The code results show that space charge forces, coupled with the wiggler-induced helical motion and the short cyclotron wavelength of the beam, produce large increases in velocity spread in the magnetic compression region. A beam with smaller velocity spread would be needed to make the gyro-BWO operate at the desired efficiency.

Effect of external magnetic field on critical current for the onset of virtual cathode oscillations in relativistic electron beams

In this Letter we research the space charge limiting current value at which the oscillating virtual cathode is formed in the relativistic electron beam as a function of the external magnetic field guiding the beam electrons. It is shown that the space charge limiting (critical) current decreases with growth of the external magnetic field, and that there is an optimal induction value of the magnetic field at which the critical current for the onset of virtual cathode oscillations in the electron beam is minimum. For the strong external magnetic field the space charge limiting current corresponds to the analytical relation derived under the assumption that the motion of the electron beam is one-dimensional [D.J. Sullivan, J.E. Walsh, E. Coutsias, in: V.L. Granatstein, I. Alexeff (Eds.), Virtual Cathode Oscillator (Vircator) Theory, in: High Power Microwave Sources, vol. 13, Artech House Microwave Library, 1987, Chapter 13]. Such behavior is explained by the characteristic features of the dynamics of electron space charge in the longitudinal and radial directions in the drift space at the different external magnetic fields.

Pseudospark produced pulsed electron beam for material processing

An intense pulsed electron beam produced by a pseudospark discharge is used for material processing. The electron beam propagates in a self-focused manner in the background gas. Hardly 12 ns after the beginning of the discharge the fraction of space charge neutralization is about 96%. To sustain the neutralization effect high energy electrons (E <500 keV) are accelerated in radial direction at the beam head, due to strong electric field gradients. At current maximum the beam pinches due to its own magnetic field. At peak current of 400 A and charging voltage up to 16 kV power density reaches 10⁹ W/cm ² on the target surface. Some results of copper thin films are presented. Due to the high expansion velocity of 10⁴ m/s of the ablated target material a copper-matrix has been masked     

回旋速调管双阳极磁控注入电子枪的设计与优化

 根据8 mm回旋速调管放大器对双阳极磁控注入电子枪的要求,分析了电极形状、阳极电压、磁场、注电流对电子注横纵速度比和速度零散的影响,并进行了粒子模拟。分析表明：这些因素可归根为电场和磁场的作用,阴极附近高的电场有助于提高横纵速度比和降低速度零散;而高的磁场及低的磁压缩比将降低横纵速度比,但对速度零散影响无明显规律。在此基础上通过优化电极形状、磁场分布、电流、第一阳极电压和第二阳极电压,模拟并试制出工作电压65 kV、电流12 A、磁场1.4 T的双阳极电子枪,得到的横纵速度比值为1.4,横向速度零散为4.5%, 为8 mm回旋速调管提供了稳定高质量的电子注。

Polarization control of microwave emission from high powerrectangular cross-section gyrotron devices

Results are summarized of experiments on a gyrotron utilizing a rectangular-cross-section (RCS) cavity region. The major issue under investigation is polarization control of microwave emission as a function of magnetic field. The electron beam driver is the Michigan Electron Long Beam Accelerator (MELBA) at parameters: V=0.8 MV, I_diode=1-10 kA, I_tube=0.1=0.5 kA, and t_e-beam=0.4-1.0 μs. The annular e-beam is spun up into an axis-encircling beam by passing it through a magnetic cusp prior to entering the RCS interaction cavity. Experimental results show a high degree of polarization in either of two orthogonal modes as a function of cavity fields. The RCS gyrotron produced peak powers of 14 MW in one polarization (TE₁₀) and 6 MW in the cross-polarized mode (TE ₀₁). Electronic efficiencies for this device reached as high as 8% with transverse efficiency of 16%. Experimental results on the beam alpha (α=V_⊥/V_∥) diagnostics, where alpha is the ratio of the e-beam's transverse velocity to its parallel velocity, agree well with the single electron trajectory code. MAGIC code results are in qualitative agreement with microwave measurements. Microwave emission shifts from the dominant fundamental mode polarization (TE₁₀□ ), to the next higher order mode polarization (TE₀₁□) as the solenoid magnetic field is raised from 1.4-1.9 kGauss. Frequency measurements using heterodyne mixers support mode identification as well as MAGIC code simulations
