Abstract
As large-scale scientific facilities develop, the klystron efficiency becomes an important issue to reduce high operating costs. We are developing high-efficiency klystrons for the Pohang Light Source-II (PLS-II) and the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory X-ray Free-Electron Laser (PAL-XFEL) at the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL). The newly developed klystrons should have the same specifications, including perveance and overall length, to replace existing ones. Under these limited conditions, we designed the klystrons based on a multi-cell output cavity to improve the power-conversion efficiency significatly. We simulated the beam-dynamics using the Field Charge Interaction (FCI) code with a MATLAB script to find the optimum design parameters for high efficiency. We have determined the design parameters, such as cell tuning frequencies, inter-cell distances, couplings between cells and the Qe of the last cell, of the multi-cell output cavity.
