Parasitic Oscillations in Smooth-Wall Circular Symmetric Gyrotron Beam Ducts

Stefano Alberti, Jérémy Genoud, Minh Quang Tran, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Trach-Minh Tran, Konstantinos Avramidis

In order to study parasitic oscillation that may occur in a realistic beam duct upstream to the gyrotron cavity, the self-consistent linear and spectral code TWANGlinspec has been modified. The large inhomogeneities in the smooth-wall beam duct geometry or ...
