Title: Acoustic effect of an electromagnetic pulsed UHF field

During the course of studies on the Fakel linear accelerator it was found that the metal structures of the electrodynamic components of the accelerator are subjected to ultrasonic vibrations, the intensity and spectral composition of which depend on the operating regimes of its high-frequency system and on the conditions of resonance energy exchange between the electromagnetic field and the particle beam. From the results of calculations and measurements, the authors of this paper propose, without ruling out the contribution of other sources, that the ultrasonic signals observed in the irises and regular square waveguides of an accelerator can be attributed to the A ponderomotive effect of powerful pulses of the high-frequency electromagnetic field.
