INTERACTIONS BETWEEN ELECTRON BEAMS AND FULLY IONIZED PLASMAS

Abstract

Interaction between an electron beam and a fully ionized plasma has been studied with a view towards its application in a structure-less traveling wave tube. Three basic approaches, of varying degree of rigor, to the problem have been pursued and analytical solutions for the circularly symmetric case obtained. Comparisons between the methods of analysis are made.
