Abstract:
The purpose is to make it possible to autonomously suppress a reduction in an electron beam without providing a means for supervising the electron beam intensity of a monitor or the like. An electron gun, provided with: a heater (12) in which one terminal serves as a heater terminal (H) and the other terminal serves as a shared terminal (HK), and in which a low-voltage power supply (21) is connected between the terminals, the heater (12) generating heat due to a current being supplied from the low-voltage power supply (21); and a cathode electrode (11) connected to the shared terminal (HK) and heated by the heater (12) to discharge thermal electrons. A cathode current (Ik) due to the thermal electrons discharged from the cathode electrode (11), and a current (Ih) due to the low-voltage power supply, flow in opposite directions through the heater (12).
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a detecting system including a terahertz wave source, a detector and a controlling computer. The terahertz wave source includes a terahertz reflection klystron including an electron emission unit, a resonance unit, an output unit. The electron emission unit is configured to emit electrons. The resonance unit includes a resonant cavity communicated with the electron emission unit so that the electron emission unit emit electrons into the resonant cavity. The resonant cavity of the electron emission unit opposite the cavity wall has an output aperture coupled. The output unit is communicated with the resonance unit by the output aperture coupled. The resonance unit generate terahertz wave transmit to the output unit by the output aperture coupled.

Abstract:
A compact magnet system for use in a high-power microwave tube includes an electromagnetic coil surrounded on three sides by permanent magnets. More particularly, constituent components include a first tubular retaining member; the electromagnetic coil that fits within the first tubular retaining member and that has a central cavity; first permanent magnets positioned to extend radially from the central cavity so that like poles of the first permanent magnets wrap around the central cavity along a first side of the solenoid coil; and second permanent magnets positioned to extend radially from the central cavity so that opposite poles to the first permanent magnets wrap around the central axis along the second side of the solenoid coil. Optional added components include two sets of permanent magnets, one set on each side of the coil and a pole piece located adjacent to an end of the first tubular retaining member.
Abstract:
A periodic permanent magnet (PPM) klystron has beam transport structures and RF cavity structures, each of which has permanent magnets placed substantially equidistant from a beam tunnel formed about the central axis, and which are also outside the extent of a cooling chamber. The RF cavity sections also have permanent magnets which are placed substantially equidistant from the beam tunnel, but which include an RF cavity coupling to the beam tunnel for enhancement of RF carried by an electron beam in the beam tunnel.
