The results of modeling of a collector with four-stage recovery of the residual beam energy for the prototype gyrotron designed for the DEMO project are presented. For spatial separation of electrons with different energies, the azimuthal magnetic formed by a toroidal solenoid is used. An increase of the recovery efficiency and a decrease of the flow of electrons reflected from the collector are achieved by reducing the spread of radial position of the leading centers of electron trajectories

... the optimal parameters of the toroidal solenoid, as well as by using a sectioned electron beam. Trajectory analysis of the spent beam with electron velocity and coordinate distributions close to those obtained in experiments with high-power gyrotrons showed the possibility of achieving an overall efficiency of the gyrotron higher than 80 %, which is close to the maximum efficiency at ideal separation of electron beam fractions with different energies.
