Abstract
The magnetically insulated transmission line oscillator (MILO) is a gigawatt-class cross-field microwave tube that requires no external magnetic field due to inherent self-magnetic insulation. The tube operates with a 500 kV, 60 kA electron beam which, along with high rf fields, poses quite a challenge for diagnosing the device. We report on the comprehensive set of experimental diagnostics (both beam and microwave) employed in the MILO experiment, and show how these diagnostics, teamed with particle-in-cell computer simulations, have been instrumental in discovering problems with the tube.
