Fabrication of the L-3 L6200 multi-beam IOT for ESS

L-3 Communications Electron Devices (L-3 EDD) is developing a high power Multi-beam IOT (MBIOT) for the European Spallation Source (ESS). Extensive simulation work has been completed and, where possible, results were validated against experiment using a scaled single-beam prototype. The MBIOT design has been finalized; fabrication of the tube is in progress, and configuration of a factory test bay is underway.
