A 50 MW, 12 GHz klystron based on the SLAC XL5 design has been developed and tested to full specifications. The 4-gap extended interaction output circuit is critical for the reduction of the electric field gradients to acceptable levels yielding reliable operation. A systematic cold test method for evaluating the as-built performance of the output circuit against the ideal simulated performance is...
