PFC / JA - 93 - 15 Linear and Nonlinear Analysis of the Cyclotron Two - Stream Instability
نویسندگان
چکیده
A two-dimensional, self-consistent, nonlinear model is used to determine the growth rate and saturation level of the cyclotron two-stream instability for two weakly relativistic electron beams co-propagating along a uniform magnetic field with an inverted population in the perpendicular momentum. This instability has been proposed recently as the basis for a double-stream cyclotron maser. Good agreement is found between the dispersion analysis and computer simulations in the linear regime. The effect of axial momentum spread on the instability is investigated. It is shown that the cyclotron two-stream instability is primarily electrostatic, which calls for further exploration of an effective input and output coupling scheme for the maser. PACS numbers: 41.60.Cr, 41.75.Ht, 52.75.Ms, 52.25.Wz

An analysis of recent free electron laser experiments in combined wiggler and strong axial magnetic fields shows that near resonance, Q,,=kwv,,, the proximity of the cyclotron maser instability precludes an unambiguous identification of the radiation mechanism ( 2,, is the cyclotron frequency in the axial field, kw is the wiggler wavenumber, and v,, the axial electron velocity).
متن کاملPfc/ja-90- 44 Linear and Nonlinear Theory of Cyclotron Autoresonance Masers with Multiple Waveguide Modes
The interaction of multiple waveguide modes with a relativistic electron beam in an overmoded, single-frequency, cyclotron autoresonance maser amplifier is analyzed using a nonlinear self-consistent model and kinetic theory. It is shown analytically, and confirmed by simulation, that all of the coupled waveguide modes grow at the spatial growth rate of the dominant unstable mode, but suffer dif...

A theoretical study of parametric processes near the electron cyclotron resonance region in tokamak plasmas is presented. Parametric dispersion relations, including finite wave length of the driver pump, of principal and harmonic parametric excitations, are given. The problem of primary and secondary decays including their temporal and spatial growth rates is studied. In the nonlinear phase of ...
