Superradiance of short electron pulses in regular and corrugated waveguides
- Institute of Applied Physics, Nizhny Novgorod (Russian Federation); and others
The report is devoted to theoretical and experimental study of superradiance of short electron pulses moving through waveguide systems. It is suggested that electrons oscillate or in undulator field (undulator SR) or in homogeneous magnetic field (cyclotron SR). We studied specific regimes of SR which may occur due to peculiarities of waveguide dispersion. Among them there are regimes of radiation near cut-off frequency as well as regimes of group synchronism. At the last operating regimes an electron bunch longitudinal velocity coincide with group velocity of e.m. wave. It is found the increasing of the SR instability grows rate and energy extraction efficiency in such regimes. It is also possible to observe the same enhancement using external feedback in periodically corrugated waveguide when Bragg resonance condition with forward propagated e.m. wave is fulfill. For experimental observation of cyclotron SR we intend to use compact subnanosecond accelerator RADAN 303B on the base of the high voltage generator with special subnansecond transformer. Accelerator generates short 0.3ns electron pulses with current about 1kA and particles energy 200keV. Design of magnetic confound system provide possibility to install an active locker to impose to electrons cyclotron rotation with pitch-factor about 1-1.5. According to numerical simulation at the mm and submm wavebands it is possible to achieve radiation pick power about 5-10MW with pulse duration less than 1ns.
