TRIODE RF GUN FOR LINEAR ELECTRON ACCELERATORS

The paper describes a triode RF gun for electron internal injection into the accelerating cavity. An additional RF voltage is applied to the grid-cathode unit to optimize the bunch phase characteristics. The experimental results of the gun operation to a singlecavity pulsed accelerator ILU-10 with the energy of 5 MeV and average power of 50 kW at the frequency of 116.3 MHz are presented.
