Bright, RF photocathode electron guns are the source of choice for most high-performance research accelerator applications. Some of these applications are pushing the performance boundaries of present state-of-the-art guns. A fully axisymmetric radiofrequency electron gun with an upstream power feed has been developed. The present device shows excellent promise in extending the performance...

20. 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.
