MURI94 Western Consortium on High Energy Microwave Sources

Abstract

As described in more detail in the body of the report, this has been an extremely productive program. of particular note, there have been several major transitions and spin-offs. First, the UC Davis researchers involved in the development of a compact, high brightness, picosecond, kilo ampere, MeV electron source for coherent millimeter wave generation have conceived of a novel use in the medical screening and treatment area. Another exciting transition concerns the novel microfabricated "klystrino" device conceived by Stanford MURI researchers for application either singly or in large arrays for affordable, lightweight millimeter wave systems. A further transition involves Stanford MURI researcher who have received support from the Los Alamos National Laboratory to design and fabricate GW-class annular beam klystron the Stanford MURI work on multiple beam devices has sparked interest in the Navy for the development of devices for shipborne application.
