Feasibility of Investigating Smith-Purcell Free-Electron Laser Configurations by Electron Energy Loss Studies.

Abstract

An electron beam of energies 20 - 25 KeV was passed over an optical metallic grating (600 lines/mm) and the energy loss spectrum was obtained. The loss peak values, determined to be between approx. (1.8 - 1.9eV), were in fair agreement with the predicted values. However, these results could not be reproduced. Keywords: Smith Percell; Electron energy loss; and Free electron laser.
