We consider an FEL amplifier with an axisymmetric electron beam, circular waveguide, helical undulator and guiding magnetic field. The presented nonlinear theory of the FEL amplifier is based on Hamiltonian description of particle motion and radiation field representation with Green function method. The space charge fields, energy spread and diffraction effects are taken into consideration. Such an FEL amplifier configuration possesses some peculiarities when it operates in a regime with the negative longitudinal mass (i.e. when{mu}{sup -1}{proportional_to}dv{sub z}/dE < 0). It is shown that in the presence of strong space charge fields, the so-called {open_quotes}negative mass{close_quotes} instability may influence significantly on the FEL amplifier operation resulting in a significant increase in the FEL amplifier efficiency. It is proposed in the presented paper to use the effect of the {open_quotes}negative mass instability{close_quotes} to achieve an effective bunching of the CERN Linear Collider (LIC) driving beam.
