Abstract
The fully three dimensional electromagnetic curvilinear PIC code ISIS is used on the CM5 supercomputer to simulate the operation of the Large Orbit Gyrotron (LOG) high power microwave source which is current under development at Los Alamos. This source consists of a vane resonator magnetron-type geometry with a rotating annular electron beam in a cusp magnetic field and represents a formidable intrinsically three dimensional computational problem. Animations of beam dynamics and microwave generation in the device will be presented. Comparison with results from the LANL LOG experiment will also be discussed.
