	Funding: Research supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of High Energy Physics A self-consistent design is described of a modified 34.3 GHz magnicon amplifier with a TE311-mode output cavity, to replace the existing magnicon at Yale Beam Physics Lab Test Facility whose output cavity operates in the TM310 mode. The main goal for the new design is to achieve robust reliable operation. This is expected since tube performance – according to simulations – is largely insensitive to the magnitude of external dc magnetic fields, including imperfections in magnetic field profile; small changes in gun voltage and current; changes in electron beam radial size; and even poorly matched external circuitry. The new tube, as with its predecessor, is a third harmonic amplifier, with drive and deflection gain cavities near 11.424 GHz and output cavity at 34.272 GHz. The design calculations predict stable output of power of 20-27 MW at a 10 Hz repetition rate in pulses up to 1.3 μs long, with a low probability of breakdown in the output cavity because of low electric fields (less than 650 kV/cm).

A self-consistent design is described of a modified 34.3 GHz magnicon amplifier with a TE311-mode output cavity, to replace the existing magnicon at Yale Beam Physics Lab Test Facility whose output cavity operates in the TM310 mode.
