Electron Gun for a 6-18GHz, 20W Helix-TWT Amplifier

Electron guns are the starting point of every charged particle application. There the DC energy is translated into an extracted beam which later on interacts with all kinds of RF structures. The design and analysis of an electron gun can be performed with the tracking code of CST PARTICLE STUDIO® as shown in this article. Read full article..

CST PARTICLE STUDIO™ Simulation of a Depressed Collector

A multi-stage depressed collector for the "Rijnhuizen" Fusion Free-Electron Maser (FEM) is simulated with CST PARTICLE STUDIO™. The results are reproduced with permission of Pulsar Physics.

Wake Field Simulation of a Collimator

The simulation of the wake field effect in a collimator can be performed using CST PARTICLE STUDIO™ (CST PS). Wake field effects are an important aspect in the design process of such linear collider components. Read full article..

Wake Field Simulation of a Beam Position Monitor

This article shows how the wake field solver of CST PARTICLE STUDIO™ can be used to simulate a beam position monitor in the pick-up mode. The used beam position monitor is a quarter wavelength electrode similar to the one used in the Electron Storage Ring (ESR) of the Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung (GSI) Darmstadt.

Periodic Eigenmode Simulation of a Travelling Wave Tube

CST MICROWAVE STUDIO® enables the simulation of periodic eigenmode problems such as Travelling Wave Tubes(TWT). The group velocity and phase dispersion characteristics can be extracted as well as the Pierce Impedance. Read full article..

Photonic Band Gap Structure for a Particle Accelerator

This application has been succesfully simulated using the powerful Eigenmode Solver in CST MICROWAVE STUDIO® with the aid of the Modal Analysis Module. Read full article..

Klystron Output Resonator - Particle-in-Cell (PIC) Simulation

This article shows the simulation of a klystron output resonator. The simulation was performed using the Particle in Cell (PIC) code of CST PARTICLE STUDIO™. The PIC code is embedded in the transient solver of CST MICROWAVE STUDIO® and benefits therefore from a mature environment. Read full article..
