Slow wave cyclotron instability in dielectric loaded waveguide of rectangular cross-section. Final report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6933382
Slow wave cyclotron instability in dielectric loaded waveguides driven by an anisotropic velocity distribution is considered. The spatial growth rate of the radiation field is calculated by deriving a dispersion relation of the waveguide modes in the presence of a weak electron beam. It is shown that broad band amplification is possible in such structures. Bandwidth in excess of 60% is obtained for a 'cold' beam. The bandwidth decreases with increase in the velocity spread of the electrons. At 5% velocity spread, the bandwidth decreases to 12%. The dependence of the gain and bandwidth on other material and electron beam parameters as well as the applied magnetic field is discussed.
