Description

Abstract: We provide a system description of the LANL CERF-NM test stand, and discuss the operation and initial conditioning efforts. The specified klystron peak power of 50MW, operating with a 1µs pulse-width at a pulse repetition rate of 100 Hz (5kW average power) was achieved working into a matched water-cooled waveguide load.
