Three-Dimensional Analysis of the GMBK (Gigawatt Multiple Beam Klystron)
Abstract
The basis of this work is the 3-D simulation analysis and assessment of the GMBK design performed with the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC). A 19-beam hexagonal-packed Multiple Beam Klystron was of interest to SLAC. The emphasis of the project, especially in the final 12 months became the assistance and collaboration with SLAC on issues relating to simulation design, primarily with 3-D simulation tools, but also with existing 2-D simulation tools. This has included a comparison of predicted results with experimental data, often on fairly contentious issues, where simulation and past experience have not pointed in the same directions.
