The measured (solid black line with dots) and calculated (dashed blue lines) start oscillation current of the operating mode TE11,2,q, q = 1,2,3,4 for different magnetic field values. A minimum start current of ~ 21 mA is observed. The calculated start current assumed cold cavity electric field profile in the linear theory for cavity radius of rc = 1.593 and operating voltage of V = 16.7 kV, α = 1.8 and Δv⊥ = 3% with the gun coil magnetic field of ~ −37 mT.
