Basic Research in Microwave-Plasma Interaction.
Abstract
The investigation covered by the grant includes three research areas: (1) Development of a microwave tube called 'cuspton' which converts the kinetic energy of a relativistic electron beam (e-layer) into microwaves by resonant interaction at a cyclotron harmonic with the mode field of a sixteen slot waveguide, (2) study of microwave plasma interaction for the application of high power microwaves and plasma cloaking, focused on using a fast space-time varying plasma to modify the propagation characteristics and spectral content of the interacting microwave, and using a periodically structured plasma to enhance wave scattering, and (3) nonlinear effect of large amplitude waves on the trajectory of charged particles.
