Coherent synchrotron radiation from an intense relativistic electron beam

V. L. Granatstein, M. Herndon, Robert K. Parker, P. Sprangle

Open publisher page 33 citations

Abstract

When an intense relativistic electron beam traversed a magnetic field of novel configuration, ∼ 25 MW of narrow-band microwave power was emitted near the relativistic cyclotron frequency. The emitted waves are superluminous and propagate in a direction transverse to the applied magnetic field. The process is coherent, is driven by population inversion, and depends on the relativistic mass change.
