The stability of a uniform, unbounded electron beam, propagating through an inhomogeneous medium, is considered. It is shown that the transition radiation of the individual particles of the beam excites oscillations in the beam. The growth rate is proportional to the individual radiated power of these particles and to the beam density omega /sub b/. The motion of a charged particle beam along a metal waveguide of radius a, filled by a periodic inhomogeneous plasma and located in a strong magnetic field ( omega /sub H/>> omega , omega /sub b/), is solved, Gain conditions for longitudinal and transverse waves are found.
