The New Fabrication Method for a Periodic Permanent Magnet (ppm) C-band (5712 Mhz) Klystron
نویسندگان
چکیده
PPM focusing is quite an attractive scheme, since it eliminates the focusing solenoid (and its power supply) from the klystron. However, one technical difficulty lies in how to integrate the magnetic-circuit, which is relatively complicated, into the vacuum tube. We have solved this problem by introducing a new fabrication technique of metal-to-metal diffusion-bonding by hot-isostatic-pressing (HIP). After simply stacking alternatively the disks made of magnetic stainless-steel (Mag-SUS) and oxygen-free-copper (OFC) without any brazing-material, they were bonded together by pressing with a high-pressure (1200-kgf/cm) at a high temperature (800-°C) for 2 hours. Machining this bonded block produces the drift-tube for the PPM-klystron. We chose the neodymium magnet because of its high maximum BH-product (>40 MGOe), while still having relatively low cost. A 50-MW class C-band PPM klystron is under fabrication. Already magnetic field measurement has been performed, and the axial-field profile was confirmed to be within tolerance. A high power test is scheduled in July 2000.

Electron beam halo formation is studied as a potential mechanism for electron beam losses in highpower periodic permanent magnet focusing klystron amplifiers. In particular, a two-dimensional selfconsistent electrostatic model is used to analyze equilibrium beam transport in a periodic magnetic focusing field in the absence of radio-frequency signal, and the behavior of a high-intensity electro...

متن کاملThe X-band Klystron Program at Slac*
The X-band rf source development at SLAC can be considered a qualified success. A total of twelve klystrons were built. Six of them are still in use. The latest tube, XL4, produced 75 MW at an efficiency of 47.5 percent. However, victory cannot be declared as yet, since an NLC prototype has not been fully designed and the decision between permanent magnet focusing and a super-conducting solenoi...
