HIGH-FREQUENCY OSCILLATIONS RESULTING FROM THE INTERACTION OF AN ELECTRON BEAM WITH PLASMA,

Abstract

Results are given of experiments on the detection and study of oscillations developed in a beam and plasma produced as the result of their interaction. The experiments were conducted under conditions where the electron Langmuir frequency of the plasma, was less than the electron cyclotron frequency. The conditions of wave excitation in the beam and plasma, their frequency spectra, phase velocities, amplification factors, electrical field intensity, and absolute values and spectral distribution of excited oscillation power are determined. Experimental results from measurement of frequencies, amplification factors and phase velocities of excited oscillations in the plasma are in satisfactory agreement with calculated data. (Author)
