This work describes SEY data from electron bombardment in the low energy regime, from 10 eV to 1 keV, on Cu as a baseline material, - stainless steel, aluminum 6061 (Al) and Invar (Fe64/Ni36).

Tests indicated that the gyrotron produced the quasi-optical launcher and a series of mirrors. Transmission of this same output power and efficiency as the conventional Gaussian power typically requires transformation into an ${HE}_{11}$ mode in corrugated waveguide. This conversion is achieved using a Mirror Optical Unit, which uses a second series of mirrors. The transformation of the whispering gallery mode to a Gaussian beam and then to an ${HE}_{11}$ mode requires a complexity of RF structures, increasing cost and RF losses. This program is developing a coupler that transforms the whispering gallery mode directly into an ${HE}_{11}$ mode inside the gyrotron. This results in significant reduction in gyrotron cost and RF losses and eliminates the Mirror Optical Unit.","PeriodicalId":170853,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 21st International Conference on Vacuum Electronics (IVEC)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130348555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For both trends it is beneficial to develop gyrotrons with wide emitters because this allows one to use cryomagnets with smaller inner bore sizes. For analyzing and optimizing the operation of gyrotrons with wide emitters it is proposed to represent such emitters as a superposition of thin rings and analyze the properties of electron beams emitted by each of these rings. The analysis of electron beam properties, for electron optical systems with different emitters is presented. The possibility to reduce velocity spread by anode profiling is discussed. The dynamics of electron beam and interaction efficiency for different emitters are calculated.","PeriodicalId":170853,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 21st International Conference on Vacuum Electronics (IVEC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129947066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
