Cold-Fluid Analysis of the Space-Charge Effects in an Electromagnetically Pumped Free-Electron Laser with an Axial-Guide Magnetic Field

The space-charge effects are analysed and five kinds of fluid waves are obtained in the e-beam density and the axial-current density for an electromagnetically pumped free-electron laser with an axial-guide magnetic field by using the cold-fluid theory. To enhance the gain, the guide field Bo must be in this regime: -2(ω_υ + cβ_x0k_ω) < Ω < -(ω_υ + cβ_x0k_ω), where Ω₀ = eB₀/mr₀ and ω_υ(k_ω) is the frequency (wave number) of the wiggler.
