Abstract

We describe the proposed developement of a 17.1 GHz microwave source based on an induction-linac-driven free-electron laser that is expected to produce peak power levels at the several-GW level. This system is being designed to serve as the power source for a TeV linear collider or for other high-gradient accelerators. We will discuss the power-source requirements for TeV colliders and present the initial design of an FEL that will produce the desired power. In addition, we shall discuss efficiency enhancement schemes such as a relativistic klystron “afterburner”, the requirements for beam reacceleration, and concepts for extraction of the microwave power while preserving key properties of the beam such as emittance and phase.
