Abstract
The magnicon is a deflection-modulated microwave amplifier tube being developed as a prototype rf source for the proposed TeV Next Linear Collider. A 11.424 GHz repetitively-pulsed magnicon using a thermionic electron gun is presented. This magnicon makes use of an advanced high-convergence Pierce-type electron gun that is designed to produce a 500-keV, 210-A, 1.5-mm-diameter electron beam. The gun is driven a 1-μsec, 10-Hz modulator. A matching 7-kG, 20-cm-bore water-cooled magnet is fabricated for the experiment.
