We have developed a new type of convolute called the Clam Shell MITL (CSMITL) to couple multi-level accelerators to a common load. The CSMITL has magnetic nulls only at large radius where the cathode electric field is kept below the threshold for emission, has only a simply connected magnetic topology to avoid plasma motion along magnetic field lines into highly stressed gaps, and has electron injectors that ensure efficient electron flow even in the limiting case of self-limited MITLs. We report the first experimental results on a CSMITL, which convolutes two disk feeds on the Saturn accelerator into a single disk feed. Experiments with a high impedance electron beam load operating at twice the self-limited impedance of the CSMITL confirm key design features and demonstrate robust operation.
