Phase velocity of a transverse electric wave propagating in a magnetized electron beam

In this paper three-dimentional simulations are carried out to the phase velocity of a transverse electric wave which propagates in a relativistic electron beam magnetized by a wiggler field and an axial guide magnetic field. Results show that the phase velocities are quite different from each other as the axial guide magnetic field changes its direction.     

Discrete mathematical model of a sheet electron beam in a decaying magnetic field

A discrete model of a sheet electron beam is developed in a weakly relativistic approximation. A 3D simulation of the sheet electron beam with cyclotron rotation in an axially symmetric static magnetic field under time-periodic conditions of entry is performed. The velocity spread in the beam and the efficiency of converting the energy stored in the beam into DC power depending on the beam perveance are calculated.     

Inhomogeneous relativistic electron beam interaction with inhomogeneous warm plasma

The interaction of inhomogeneous relativistic electron beam with inhomogeneous bounded warm plasma, which leads to amplification of waves, is analyzed. It is shown that due to the resonant increase in wave’s field with a decrease in the plasma permittivity to zero, the power absorbed by plasma is finite and depends on the plasma thermal velocity. The relativistic electron beam not only amplifies waves in plasma but also provides efficient absorption of these waves by plasma.     

Excitation of microwave by an annular electron beam in a plasma-filled dielectric lined waveguide

An axial relativistic electron beam passing through a slow wave structure is unstable to an electromagnetic perturbation whose phase velocity equals the velocity of the beam. This phenomenon of Cherenkov emission is the basis of all traveling wave tubes. In this paper an excitation of Cherenkov radiation by a thin annular relativistic electron beam in a plasma-filled dielectric-lined waveguide is analysed by use of the self-consistent linear theory. The effect of the thin annular electron beam on the beam-wave interaction is completely described by a jump condition. The dispersion equation and the simultaneous condition of the beam-wave interaction are derived. Finally, the growth rate of the wave is obtained, and the effect of the background plasma density and the electron beam radius on the growth rate of the wave are presented.This work is supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China.     

Nonlinear Analysis of Relativistic Motion of Electrons in Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission Free-Electron Laser in Ultraviolet and X-Ray Spectral Regions

The free-electron laser (FEL) based on the self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) is an effective candidate of the coherent optical sources at wavelengths in ultraviolet and x-rays. It requires a relativistic electron beam with extremely high quality and extremely stable transmission. In this paper we analyze the dynamic behavior of the relativistic electron in that device by calculating the entropy-like quantity. Results show that if there is no adiabatic field of the wiggler, the electron beam may have great fluctuation in velocity space and diverge in configuration space.     

低磁场S波段相对论返波振荡器的工作特性

为了实现高功率微波发生器的小型化,开展了S波段低磁场相对论返波振荡器工作特性的研究工作。由于S波段返波振荡器频率低,对应的电子回旋共振磁场强度也很低,因此低磁场条件下面临着电子束传输效率低和束波互作用效率低两大问题。为解决上述问题,采取下列措施:通过加大电子束与器件内壁的距离,提高电子束传输效率;采用较深的慢波结构作为提取腔,实现高束波互作用阻抗;提取腔前采用浅深度慢波结构,使提取腔区域的电子速度与微波相速同步。粒子模拟证明,以上措施有效,在引导磁场强度仅为0.17 T、电子束电压435 kV、电流6.5 kA的条件下,该返波管获得功率为670 MW、效率约为25%的输出微波。相对于常规S波段相对论返波振荡器的磁场系统(B=0.8 T),适用于该返波管的0.17 T低强度磁场系统螺线管外半径下降了20%,能耗下降了约93.8%。     

Electromagnetic Plasma Modes at ?pe

The problem of the electromagnetic plasma radiation near the electron plasma frequency ?pe is studied in the absence of an external magnetic field. Maxwell's equations together with the fluid equations, which include thermal effects, are solved for an infinite geometry as well as for a finite geometry, and the problem of the eigenmodes at a plasma frequency ? ?pe is studied. The excitation of these modes by a small density relativistic beam is discussed. It is shown that the presence of a small density beam with finite ?o/c (where ?o is the beam velocity and c the velocity of light in a vacuum) in a plasma of finite thermal velocity, can couple linearly the plasma oscillations excited by the beam with the electromagnetic plasma mode at ?pe. It is also shown that surface waves at a frequency ? ?pe can be excited by the beam.

The calculating results are given for Ka-band TWT in the paper.     

On the amplification mechanism of the ion-channel laser

The amplification mechanism of the ion-channel laser (ICL) in the low-gain regime is studied. In this concept, a relativistic electron beam is injected into a plasma whose density is comparable to or lower than the beam's density. The head of the electron beam pushes out the plasma electrons, leaving an ion channel. The ion-focusing force causes the electrons to oscillate (betatron oscillations) about the axis and plays a role similar to the magnetic field in a cyclotron autoresonance maser (CARM). Radiation can be produced with wave frequencies from microwaves to X-rays depending on the beam energy and plasma density: ω~2γ^3/2ω_pe, where γ is the Lorentz factor of the beam and ω_pe is the plasma frequency. Transverse (relativistic) bunching and axial (conventional) bunching are the amplification mechanisms in ICLs; only the latter effect operates in free-electron lasers. The competition of these two bunching mechanisms depends on beam velocity ν_0z; their dependences on ν_0z cancel for the cyclotron autoresonance masers. A linear theory is developed to study the physical mechanisms, and a PIC (particle-in-cell) simulation code is used to verify the theory. The mechanism is examined as a possible explanation for experimentally observed millimeter radiation from relativistic electron beams interacting with plasmas
