Effects of successive generations of backscattered electrons on the performance of depressed collectors in megawatt class gyrotrons

Effects of successive generations of backscattered electrons on collector efficiency, distribution of current and heat dissipation density are presented for a two-stage depressed collector. Some later-generation electrons may proceed from the collector region towards the RF cavity, get mirrored back...

Summary:Effects of successive generations of backscattered electrons on collector efficiency, distribution of current and heat dissipation density are presented for a two-stage depressed collector. Some later-generation electrons may proceed from the collector region towards the RF cavity, get mirrored back, land on another electrode and influence the operating parameters in important ways.
