The electrical design of different components of 1 MW, 170 GHz gyrotron such as, magnetron injection gun, cylindrical interaction cavity and collector and RF window is presented in this article.
At the opposite, narrow end of the tube are three electron guns, cylindrical metal structures that generate and direct three separate streams of free electrons, or electron beams.
It has been demonstrated on PHIL (Photo-Injector at LAL) that the coaxial RF coupling, chosen to preserve the gun field cylindrical symmetry, is perfectly understood and allows reaching the required peak accelerating field of 100 MV/m giving beam energy of 6.3 MeV.
This led to the development of methods for measuring pressures within the gun, which involved cylindrical punches mounted in holes drilled at right angles through the barrel.
TiN coatings were deposited on WC Co bar substrates using a vacuum arc plasma gun connected to a cylindrical plasma duct in which an axial magnetic field was imposed.
The gun is designed to launch cylindrical pellets with 2 mm diameter and 2 mm length, produced from frozen deuterium D2, hydrogen H2 or a gas mixture consisting of 50% H2 and 50% D2.
Impact experiments are performed on targets of homogenous and perforated Mars® 300 plates by accelerating cylindrical Mars® 300 projectiles in a single-stage gas gun.
To investigate the controlling method of interior ballistic stability of bulk-loaded propellant guns, the combustion-gas generator and cylindrical stepped-wall chamber are designed aiming at the injection processes of combustion-gases in liquid.
