Abstract :
The radial klystron is a multi-dimensional rf source where the beam is generated by a cylindrical gun and it expands along the radial dimension. The space charge repulsion forces are balanced in the azimuthal direction. We present the design of a low-voltage klystron, showing the single cavity stability and high efficiency.
