Abstract
We report, for the first time comprehensively, on the present status of the code-package EURIDICE for gyrotron interaction simulations and cavity design, developed at the National Technical University of Athens. The area of application, theoretical models, numerical implementation, and features of the codes are discussed.

For the first time comprehensively, on the present status of the code-package EURIDICE for gyrotron interaction simulations and cavity design, developed at the National Technical University of Athens
Simulations of the interaction of the electron beam with the electromagnetic field in gyrotron resonators are necessary for their design and support to the experiments
In the Association EURATOM-Hellenic Republic, and in particular at the National Technical University of Athens, there has been an ongoing, long-term effort aiming towards interaction modelling, gyrotron cavity design, and development of pertinent fast numerical tools, given the importance of gyrotron development for magnetic confinement fusion experiments
Summary
Simulations of the interaction of the electron beam with the electromagnetic field in gyrotron resonators are necessary for their design and support to the experiments. EURIDICE comprises codes for operating mode selection, calculation of the field profile of TE modes in the cold cavity, calculation of the modes’ starting currents, self-consistent calculation of the field profile in steady-state single-mode operation, and time-dependent multi-mode simulation of the beam-field interaction. The time-dependent, multi-mode, self-consistent interaction code in EURIDICE has been verified through comparisons with existing European codes for fast multi-mode calculations, namely the codes SELFT (in CAVITY) and COAXIAL [3]. EURIDICE simulations are in satisfactory agreement with experimental results
