Cerenkov radiation fields in an inhomogeneously filled circular waveguide

Cerenkov radiation fields excited in a partially filled circular waveguide with a channel in which an electron beam propagates are studied. The surface of the channel is covered by a thin quasi-conducting layer to remove the electrostatic charge due to the beam passage. The effect of the thickness of the cylindrical dielectric layer is investigated. The thin quasi-conducting layer is shown to attenuate the Cerenkov waves generated in the lossless medium only slightly.
