Computer Simulations of Radiation Generation from Relativistic Electron Beams

Abstract

In investigating the effects of magnetic field on the output power of a plasma filled Backward Wave Oscillator, It was found that within a certain range of magnetic field the growth rate of beam plasma cyclotron interaction is significantly larger than the conventional backward wave oscillation. Computer simulations of a 100 GHz electron cyclotron autoresonance master oscillator have been carried out. (jhd)
