A microtron can be an effective intense electron source. It can use less RF power than a linac to produce a similar energy because the beam will pass through the RF cavity several times. To produce a high-quality low-emittance beam with a microtron requires a magnetic system with a field uniformity $δ B/B<0.001. Field quality for a compact microtron with fewer turns is more difficult to achieve. In this study we describe the magnet for a compact S-band microtron that will achieve the necessary field requirements. The shaping of the magnet poles and shimming of the magnet iron at the outer extent of the poles will be employed to provide field uniformity. The extraction of the beam will be discussed.

Existing magnetrons that are typically used to study methods of control or lifetime improvements for SRF accelerators are built for much different applications such kitchen microwave ovens (1kW, 2.45 GHz) or industrial heating (100 kW, 915 MHz). In this project, Muons, Inc. will work with an industrial partner to develop fast and flexible manufacturing techniques to allow many ideas to be tested for construction variations that enable new phase and amplitude injection locking control methods, longer lifetime, and inexpensive refurbishing resulting in the lowest possible life-cycle costs. In Phase II magnetron sources will be tested on SRF cavities to accelerate an electron beam at JLab. A magnetron operating at 650 MHz will be constructed and tested with our novel patented subcritical voltage operation methods to drive an SRF cavity. The choice of 650 MHz is an optimal frequency for magnetron efficiency. The critical areas of magnetron manufacturing and design affecting life-cycle costs that will be modeled for improvement include: Qext, filaments, magnetic field, vane design, and novel control of outgassing.
