Abstract

A novel relativistic magnetron priming technique consisting of either a main center cathode and several satellite cathodes (eggbeater design) or just the satellite cathodes (transparent cathode design [Fuks and Schamilogru, 2005]) is investigated using the three-dimensional electromagnetic, particle in cell code ICEPIC. Both these cathode designs rely on RF field penetration into the cathode region to enhance performance. This priming technique is thought to allow for larger amplitudes of the synchronous Ethetas field in the electron hub region which in turn hastens the capture of electrons into spokes. This technique effectively eliminates mode competition with the Pi mode amplitude dominating the other modes by at least a factor of 25
