Experimental investigation of a relativistic carcinotron
Abstract
Results are presented of an experimental investigation of a carcinotron in the 3-cm wavelength band. The characteristics of this microwave generator were studied for electron energies of 300-500 keV and beam currents of 1-4 kA. A short summary of the theory of a carcinotron is presented. The calculated range over which the parameters were favorable for high efficiency agrees with that found experimentally
