Longitudinal beam distribution and coherent synchrotron radiation of relativistic electron clouds

The effect of the form of the longitudinal distribution of an electron beam on the characteristics of coherent synchrotron radiation is investigated. The spectral density and total power of the coherent synchrotron radiation are studied as functions of the dispersion and excess of the longitudinal distribution, as well as of the energy of the radiating particles.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 2, pp. 17–20, February, 1977.
