NRL Magnicon Facility
• Magnicon Facility offers a flexible venue for hands-on experiments requiring high power 11.4 GHz radiation, with reasonable work and safety rules and minimal red tape
• Magnicon properties: high power (10–20 MW), adjustable pulse length (200-ns FWHM– 1-µs), repetition rate up to 10 Hz, stable gain, a modest (~0.1%) tuning range, phase stability, and stable operation into resonant loads
• Magnicon facility has been used for two series of collaborative experiments over the past 5 years:
– Sixteen tests of DLA Structures– Eight tests of Active Pulse Compressors
• It is now being used to power a 5-MeV injector, the first stage of a compact test accelerator to study acceleration in DLA structures

• Injector installed with rf window, gate valve, ICT, YAG, focusing quads, steering magnet
• RF conditioning completed
• Dark current electrons observed; energy of ~3–5 MeV, based on electron range in Al and bending in 1.2 kG magnetic field
• Initial operation with hot cathode at rated rf drive (~2 MW injected) produced ~1 mA, ~3.2 MeV, 4-mm-diam beam
• Low cathode temperature, apparent cathode poisoning limited beam current from LaB6 cathode
• Temperature gradient along 24-cell structure may have limited beam energy
• These problems will be addressed in the near future
