Cherenkov maser at millimeter wavelengths
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6994020
The dispersion relation for the transverse magnetic modes (TM/sub 0n/) of a partially filled, dielectric-lined, cylindrical waveguide driven by a cold relativistic electron beam is derived. The effect of a gap between the electron beam and the dielectric liner is included. The dispersion relation is then used to calculate the growth rate for the Cherenkov instability in the collective tenuous-beam limit. Expressions are developed for the minimum current necessary for oscillation threshold and for the power output of the Cerenkov maser in the collective regime.
