Description

Calabazas Creek Research, Inc. is developing a high efficiency, 1.3 GHz, 100 kW klystron for driving accelerators. The goal for the efficiency is at least 85%. Designs for the RF circuit, electron gun and collector are presented.

Using the COM design method for klystrons put forth by [1,2] (COM: Core Oscillation Method), CCR has created a design with an efficiency of 82%, as calculated using MAGIC. The circuit length was 2 m. Details of the circuit, electron gun and collector electrical and mechanical designs will be presented at the conference.
