	M.E. Read, G. Collins, P. Ferguson, L.R. Ives, R.H. Jackson, D. Marsden CCR, San Mateo, California, USA
	Funding: US Department of Energy SBIR contract DE-SC0006213. Calabazas Creek Research Inc. (CCR) is developing an Annular Beam Klystron (ABK) for advanced accelerators. The power and frequency, 10 MW and 1.3 GHz, respectively, are consistent with requirements for the International Linear Collider (ILC), but the primary goal of the program is to demonstrate the feasibility of the configuration. The ABK uses a large diameter annular beam propagated close to the drift tube wall to reduce the plasma density, allowing high efficiency with high beam perveance. This allows the voltage to be less than 120 kV, as required for the ILC. The perveance is similar to that of multiple beam klystrons, but the ABK, with a single beam, is much simpler and is expected to be less expensive than the MBK. The CCR ABK has a calculated efficiency of 67% with a perveance of 3.4. The pulse width and pulse repetition frequency are 1.5 ms and 10 pps, respectively. The ABK has been modeled extensively using multiple codes, including KLSC, TESLA and MAGIC. The mechanical design is complete and assembly of the tube is expected by the fall of 2013. Test results will be reported, as available. Use of the concept for other accelerator requirements will also be discussed.
