Description

The tristron was already proposed many years ago but was never developed to a stage, where it could be mass produced. Based on IOTs, the tristron promises to achieve RF efficiencies above 90% for a wide frequency and power range. Building on the development of high-efficiency klystrons, CERN is proposing this new device as the power source of choice for future colliders like the FCC. The talk will focus on the conceptual design of the tristron and outline the development that is starting together with industry.
