Effect of background plasma on slow cyclotron waves of electron beam

The effect of plasma loading in the field structure and dispersive characteristics of slow cyclotron waves propagated in electron beams is studied. A requirement is established for the maximum permissible plasma concentration at which a slow cyclotron wave can be used for collective ion acceleration. The degree of vacuum required for operation of an autoresonant accelerator is estimated.Moscow Radio-Engineering Institute, Academy of Sciences of the USSR.
