The results of combined simulation of physical processes in a medium power gyrotron of 4-mm wavelength range are presented. The methods of improving the quality of helical electron beam and the electron efficiency of the gyrotron, based on the optimization of electric field distribution in the near-cathode region, are realized. The design of the collector with 4-stage recovery of residual beam energy, based on the method of spatial separation of electrons in crossed azimuthal magnetic and axial electric fields, was developed. The value of total efficiency of the gyrotron equal to 71.8 % was achieved by improving the quality of the electron beam and by efficient energy recovery in the collector region.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
