SYSTEM FOR THE FORMATION OF AN ELECTRON BEAM IN A 258 GHz GYROTRON DESIGNED FOR EXPERIMENTS ON DYNAMIC POLARIZATION OF NUCLEI

We consider the features of a system for the formation of an electron beam in a continuouswave high-stability gyrotron at the second gyrofrequency harmonic with an operating frequency of 258 GHz. The problems related to the maintenance of the required beam parameters are analyzed. The procedure and results of numerical simulation of the electron gun and collector of the gyrotron are described. The influence of various physical factors on the characteristics of the electronoptical system of the gyrotron are studied. The design of the electron beam formation system is described along with the results of measuring its parameters.
