  • Abstract
    While high conversion efficiency has been demonstrated in peniotrons, practical application of the device requires that power be efficiently extracted from the cavity. The UCD peniotron is designed to achieve high overall device efficiency and power output (130 kW peak) by employing an over-coupled cavity driven by a Northrop Grumman Cusp gun. Stability is insured through the use of a fundamental-mode interaction with the second cyclotron harmonic of the axis-encircling electron beam.
