R.f Power Sources’

I am going to t6.lk about RF power murcea for accelerator applications. My approach will be with particular c+omus in mind. That customers are high energy phy6icirtr who w accelerator6 66 experimental tool6 in the rtudy of the nucleus of the atom, and rpchrotron light sourea derived from electron or po6itron storage ring6. I will genually confine my6elf to electron-positron linear accelerator6 rince the RF sourca have alwaya defined what b poe6ible to achieve with these acceluatom. A striking example of thii L the development at Stanford immediately after World War II when Chodorow and Ginzton’ wt the rtage for GeV electron accelerator6 with the development of the multi-megawatt klystron which at that time npresented order6 of magnitude of power capabilities above that which wa6 available in klystron amplifiers.
