The dissipative instability of a relativistic electron beam

The theory of the wall instabilities of surface waves excited by an electron beam is developed. Their classification, linear, quasilinear and nonlinear theory is given. It is shown that dissipative instabilities convert practically all the energy lost by the beam into the heating of the lossy walls confining the beam.     

Anomalous scattering of a relativistic electron beam in a beam created plasma

Measurements of the velocity angular distribution of a relativistic electron beam (0.8 MV, 6 kA, 150 ns) after propagation through hydrogen gas are presented. At a pressure of 25 Pa scattering of the beam electrons into a preferential angular interval is observed. At 190 Pa anomalously large scattering is observed, up to an angular width of 90°, during about 30 ns.     

Passage of a high-current relativistic electron beam through matter

A solution is presented for the problem of passage of a high-current relativistic electron beam through matter in the stationary case with one-dimensional geometry. The system of equations describing the passage of the beam consists of the kinetic equation for fast electrons, which considers the effect of the electric field on the magnitude and direction of particle momentum, the equations for the field produced by the space charge generated by thermalized electrons, and relations connecting the conductivity of the medium to the radiation field. Higher-order perturbation theory is used for the solution. The solutions reveal that the distribution of expended energy, thermalized electrons, and other properties of the flow are highly dependent on the density of the incident flux and the conductivity of the medium. It will be shown that linear transfer theory may be applied to calculation of the passage of high-current beams through matter over a wide range of currents and conductivities, if the barrier thickness does not exceed one-half the path length, but cannot be used for calculation of passage through large-thickness barriers, i.e., with thickness comparable to the electron free path length.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 9, pp. 67–74, September, 1979.The author thanks A.

Interaction of a relativistic electron beam with a spiral waveguide

The nonlinear period in the interaction of a relativistic electron beam (REB) with an electromagnetic wave in a spiral waveguide at the stage of saturation is investigated for a Cherenkov interaction mechanism. On the basis of the kinetic equation and laws of energy and momentum conservation, analytical relations are obtained, allowing the efficiency of excitation and amplification of the electromagnetic wave to be studied using REB in a retarding structure. The results of the analysis are in good agreement with the data of actual and numerical experiments.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 5, pp. 31–36, May, 1988.It remains to thank É.

Hardening of steel by alloying in a relativistic electron beam

The possibility was demonstrated of hardening a steel surface layer by alloying it using the energy of relativistic electrons. Investigations were made of how the structure, hardness, and depth of the hardened layer depend on the processing regime and on the initial temperature of the steel in the case of alloying with boron carbide and with Cr+C and Cr+B₄C mixtures. The greatest hardening was achieved by alloying with a mixture of Cr and B₄C powders. This was due to a higher volume fraction of the second phase in the layer and to the precipitation of chromium carboborides. Several types of alloying utilizing Cr+B₄C and containing additional agents and modifiers were developed on the basis of the data obtained.Institute of Hardening Physics and Materials Research, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Remarks on the Poukey-Rostoker-model of relativistic electron beam propagation

Some properties of an analytic electrostatic model of relativistic electron beam propagation in vacuum, developed by Poukey and Rostoker [1], are evaluated. It is shown that the limits of validity of this model result from the mixing of electrons, from space charge singularities and the backflow of electrons to the cathode.     

On the injection of a cold relativistic electron beam into a cold plasma

In a one-dimensional model the initial phase of the injection of a relativistic electron beam into a plasma is studied, both analytically and computationally. We find that in a time of a few beam plasma periods the beam obtains a “temperature” which is much higher than expected from the analytic treatment.     

Parametric instabilities produced by a relativistic electron beam in a plasma

The parametric instability driven by the primary spectrum of the hydrodynamic two-stream instability produced by a relativistic electron beam in a plasma is investigated. The saturated level of the primary wave electric field is determined by electron trapping in the potential well of the wave or by the quasilinear beam relaxation process. After saturation, the primary wave collapses by way of the oscillating two-stream instability. The cases of the strong and weak primary electric field in comparison with the thermal energy of a plasma are considered. For a strong field the growth rates of the parametric instability and plasma heating due to the latter are found. Ion heating is not significant in comparison with electron heating (approximately as the cube root of the mass ratio). In a weak field the parametric oscillating two-stream spectrum of saturation is found. In the one-dimensional case this spectrum of electric field energy fluctuations varies as k⁻² if the fluctuation field exceeds the threshold pump electric field for the oscillating two-stream instability. For the weak field plasma heating rate is found. Since the energy transfer is via Landau damping, the particle heating is characterized by the formation of high-energy tails on the distribution function.
