Description
Klystrons, vacuum electronic devices, are widely used in particle accelerators as RF source equipment. High-efficiency klystrons are critically needed for large accelerators, such as the ILC and SuperKEKB.
This lecture introduces the basics of klystrons, followed by a discussion on the motivation, background, and impact of enhancing klystron efficiency. Various methods for improving klystron efficiency are reviewed, and the global research landscape in this field is also
presented.
