Abstract

Results from MAGIC-2D simulations of hollow beam, 800 MHz klystrons, with efficiencies on the order of 85% are presented. Such tubes employ the core oscillation method of electron bunching, which allows for most electrons in the beam to be contained within the bunch at the output cavity. By moving towards hollow beam geometries, the bunch at the output cavity presents a favourable phase and spatial profile for energy extraction, and thus, the overall tube efficiency can be maximised.
