چکیده
The very first klystron in the XC series, (XCl), The SLAC design for a l-TeV collider (NLC) requires klystrons with a performance which is well beyond the state-of-the-art for microwave tubes in the United States or abroad. The electrical specifications for the NLC klystrons are not fully established, but they are approximately as follows: Frequency: Peak Power:

X-band Klystron Development at Slac
The development of X-band klystrons at SLAC originated with the idea of building an X-band Linear Collider in the late 1980’s. Since then much effort has been expended in developing a reliable X-band Power source capable of delivering >50 MW RF power in pulse widths >1.5 μs. I will report on some of the technical issues and design strategies which have led to the current SLAC klystron designs.
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...

متن کاملPPM Focused X-Band Klystron Development at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center
X-band klystrons capable of 50 MW and utilizing Periodic Permanent Magnet (PPM) focusing are undergoing design and fabrication at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC). The klystron development is part of an effort to realize components necessary for the construction of the Next Linear Collider (NLC). The first klystron to be tested this year has a 0.6 UK beam at 465 kV, a 5-cell travel...
متن کاملA 12 Ghz 50mw Klystron for Support of Accelerator Research*
A 12 GHz 50MW X-band klystron is under development at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Klystron Department. The klystron will be fabricated to support programs currently underway at three European Labs; CERN, PSI, and INFN Trieste. The choice of frequency selection was due to the CLIC RF frequency changing from 30 GHz to the European X-band frequency of 11.99 GHz in 2008. Since the Klys...
