Since klystron dimensions grow f a r less r a p i d l y t h a n t h e power they can deliver, one could propose to employ tubes of 4 to 5 K W each when t o t a l power requirements are of s e v e r a l t e n s of M W . But a more compact and f l e x i b l e s o l u t i o n i s o f f e r e d i n t h e f o r m of t h e multi-beam klystron (MBK), an N-beam t u b e t h a t s t i l l uses 4 o r 5 c a v i t i e s . Such an MEK would g r a n t a r e d u c t i o n i n b o t h w e i g h t and high voltages used. I n the frequency range of 300-600 MHz, k l y s t r o n s are generally developed and manufactured for high energy physics and more s p e c i f i c a l l y f o r e l e c t r o n synchrotron or storage rings, although such klystrons are beginning to be considered for proton vices. The TH 2089 (352 MHz 1.2 MW CW) and the l i n e a r a c c e l e r a t o r s and powerful n e u t r a l beam de-TH 2105 (508 MHz l MW CW) are two examples of such tubes and 4 t o 5 MW CW u n i t s are a l s o f e a s i b l e [I], a s proved, for instance, by t h e 500 k W (CW) obtained a t 3.7 GHz on t h e TH 2103 [2]. The good agreement between the calculated predict i o n s and t h e r e s u l t s from on-field devices i s due not only to the use of i n c r e a s i n g l y a c c u r a t e mod e l s , b u t a l s o f r o m a b e t t e r t e c h n i c a l mastery, p a r t i c u l a r l y a s r e g a r d s s p e c i a l p r o c e s s e s d u r i n g bake-in and voltage and power rise.

On t h e TH 2089 and TH 2105, the cathode voltages are 80-90 kV DC and t h e e f f iciency is c u r r e n t l y 67-68 % w i t h some tubes a t t a i n i n g 70 %.

L'étude de l'émission secondaire d'électrons induite par protons a été faite pour des énergies incidentes de l'ordre du MeV. Les coefficients d'émission secondaire ont été mesurés sur quelques métaux : Be, Al, Cu, Ta, Au. Nous avons aussi étudié les distributions d'énergie des électrons à différents angles, à l'aide d'un spectromètre magnétique, le détecteur étant un multiplicateur d'électrons à 17 dynodes Cu-Be
