摘要：

First experimental results are reported on the operation of a multimegawatt 2.856 GHz cyclotron autoresonance accelerator (CARA). A 90-100 kV, 2-3 MW linear electron beam has had up to 6.6 MW added to it in CARA, with an rf-to-beam power efficiency of up to 96%. This efficiency level is larger than that reported for any fast-wave interaction between radiation and electrons, and also larger than that in normal conducting rf linear accelerators. The results obtained are in good agreement with theoretical predictions.
