This paper introduces the detailed design scheme of a multi-beam electron gun applied to an S-band high power multi-beam klystron. The multi-beam gun adopts a coaxial cavity arrangement, and the total number of electron beams are 40 (19 in the inner layer and 21 in the outer layer). The working voltage of the electron gun is 60 kV, the total current is 300 A (evenly distributed on 40 electron beams), and the single beam perveance is 0.51 μP. The total perveance is 20.4 μP. The cathode loading of the gun is 12 A/cm2, which can meet the requirements of cathode operational lifetime. The beam focusing system uses a periodic reversal permanent magnet to realize miniaturization of the klystron.
