1 megawatt, 100 GHz gyrotron study
Abstract
The results of a design study on a gyrotron device employing a new type of hollow gyrobeam formation system and having a capability for delivering magwatt CW power at 100 GHz to an ECRH-heated, magnetically-confined plasma are provided. The conceptual basis for the beam formation system is the tilt-angle gun (TAG) in which a conically-shaped electron beam is formed in a magnetically-shielded region and is then injected into the stray-field region of the main magnetic focusing system. Because fluid coolants are accessed through the central pole of the TAG-type gun, RF interaction is contemplated with cavity configurations not practical with the conventional MIG-type gyrobeam formation systems.
