Instability of quasineutral electron beam in a semiinfinite metallic waveguide

Journal Article · · JETP Lett. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:5388865
The existence of a new type of aperiodic instability of a quasineutral electron beam, which in long systems predominates over the well-known Pierce instability (PI) and has the same current threshold, is demonstrated. The increment slightly above threshold is estimated.
