Abstract

The CONDOR code was used to simulate the cold test and the beam-induced microwave amplification of an 11.4 GHz, six-cell, disk-loaded, traveling-wave (TW) cavity. Cold test simulation results are in agreement with a modified Slater´s theory. Power extraction at the output port was calculated by launching a train of Gaussian electron bunches through the structure. Results are consistent with recent relativistic klystron experiments using a similar TW output cavity. It is further shown that, depending on operating beam parameters, the power extraction efficiency can be maximized by modification of various cells in the TW structure.<>
