Abstract
The magnicon is a highly attractive candidate to be the RF source for a future multi‐Tev linear collider. Physical models and computer codes have been developed which can provide start‐to‐end self‐consistent simulations of a magnicon, including precise simulations of the high‐convergence electron gun, RF‐system, magnetic system, and beam collector. The 3‐D beam dynamics simulations include realistic fields, finite beam size and transverse space charge effects. The codes allow one to provide steady‐state simulations of the entire tube, so as to evaluate transient process of magnicon excitation, parasitic mode self‐excitation, stability analysis, and tolerance analysis. The results of the simulations are found to be in good agreement with magnicon experiments. A brief description of the physical models and simulation codes employed will be given.
