Description

Even though the klystron concept is more than 50 years old, recent innovative ideas concerning the bunching mechanism promise a significant increase of electronic efficiency and indicate the possibility to reach 90%. These ideas include "bunch core oscillations", "concregated bunches" and the BAC method (for "bunch - align - collect"). We will present the status of this work including the recent first experimental verification of the principle.
