Abstract

This paper presents the design of a triode-type Magnetron Injection Gun (MIG) for a 460 GHz, 50-100 W gyrotron for Medical Spectroscopy operating at 25 KV and 0.1 A. The design is facilitated by determining the initial design following analytical expressions of Baird and Lawson¹ and then carrying out the design optimization using available ESRAY trajectory program². This paper also presents the design of magnetic guidance system.
