Recent results in collaborative studies on the design of application specific gyrotrons

Abstract

In this paper, our collaborative efforts on the design of specific high power gyrotrons that are being carried out at IIT-Roorkee and KIT will be presented. An up-date of our design studies on (i) a 42 GHz, 200–250 kW, long pulse / CW gyrotron (with up-tapered resonator section) for Indian Tokamak applications and (ii) CW/longpulse gyrotrons (conventional cavity version) at 170 GHz for ITER and ITER-like machines. Recent results on the design studies of these specific gyrotrons will be summed up comprehensively and future plans are discussed in this paper.
