Description
This talk is an update of the operating experiences and reliabilty of over 350 klystrons at Jefferson Lab over the past 15 years. We experienced a serious failure mode in the klystron, but were able to indentify the causes and find good solutions to these problems. Analysis and pictures will be shown to demonstrate the problems. Reliability data will be given on the results of the changes that were made to improve the reliability of these klystrons.
