Abstract:
The hot dispersion equation in Cerenkov devices has been derived and analyzed numerically using the self-consistent linear theory. In principle, the linear analysis can be applied to efficiently calculating all kinds of beam-wave interaction in various Cerenkov devices composed of axisymmetric slow-wave structures (SWS) with arbitrary periodic profile. Then the results for Cerenkov devices with three typical SWS profiles are presented.
