Abstract:

A calculation in cylindrical geometry for the potential depression in klystron gaps is pre sented. The results of this calculation, which takes into account the mutual effect of depressed potential and increased charge density, is in the form of a series involving Bessel functions of imaginary argument. Also presented are the numerical results for some typical tube dimen sions and operating conditions. It turns out that the effect of an appreciable ratio of tube radius to beam radius is rather large. A FORTRAN program is included as an Appendix. Author
