Study of Intense Relativistic Electron Beam Modulation by Wakefield Effects
Author: J. Miller
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 20
Book Description
An experimental study has been undertaken in order to investigate plasma wakefield effects produced in intense electron beam propagation in a background plasma. A 2 MeV, 1 kA, electron beam is used for this experiment. A 50 cm diam., 3.6 m long drift tube is filled with a background gas, typically trimethylamine (TMA). This gas is ionized by electrons emitted from heated tungsten filaments which are biased at approximately -100 Volts. The resultant plasma density is fairly uniform and is adjustable in the range 10 to the 8th power to 5 x 10 to the 9th power per cubic cm. A higher density Ion Focused Regime (IFR) channel for electron beam propagation is generated by KrF-laser (248 nm) ionization of the background TMA gas. The intense electron beam propagating on an IFR channel in this background plasma experiences wakefield effects due to the natural oscillations of the background plasma which are excited by the beam current risetime. The Ez component of the induced field is responsible for producing beam current modulation near the background plasma frequency. The results scale with plasma density as expected and current modulation is nearly complete for a certain parameter range. This technique may be amenable to a high power microwave generation technique analogous to the relativistic klystron. Detailed experimental results of beam modulation will be presented.

Soviet Research on the Transport of Intense Relativistic Electron Beams Through High-pressure Air
Author: Nikita Wells
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Electron beams
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
Soviet research on the propagation of intense relativistic electron beams (IREB) through fairly high-pressure air (pressure range 0.1 to 760 Torr) since the early 1970s has included the study of the plasma channel created by the passage of the electron beam through air, the resistive hose instability and its effect on beam propagation, the effect of self-fields, current enhancement, gas expansion, return currents, inherent beam energy spread, and other factors. This report covers Soviet developments in IREB propagation through air where the beam is not focused by external magnetic fields. The information was obtained from Soviet open-source publications with emphasis given to the last ten years of beam propagation in the Soviet Union. The volume of papers published on this subject in recent years indicates a significant increase in Soviet research in this area.

Soviet Research on the Transport of Intense Relativistic Electron Beams Through Low-pressure Air
Author: Nikita Wells
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Electron beams
Languages : en
Pages : 76
Book Description
This report analyzes Soviet research on the transport of intense relativistic electron beams (IREB) through low-pressure air and other gases without external magnetic fields. It reviews research reported in open-source technical publications from seven Soviet research institutes. These research papers indicate that Soviet interest in long-distance IREB transport at low gas pressure has endured from 1979 to the present.

Interaction of Intense Lasers and Relativistic Electron Beams with Solids, Gases and Plasmas
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 20
Book Description
The focus of the Maryland Program is to establish strong experimental and theoretical support for ongoing programs at NRL. Areas of research which are of mutual interest are pursued by members of the University of Maryland faculty in collaboration with their counterparts at NRL. The proposal encompasses basically three broad areas of research activities. The first area deals with excimer laser technology and the interaction of high power lasers with matter (gases, solids and plasma). The second area of mutual interest involves diagnostics of intense relativistic electron beams and study of their propagation and interaction with a background gas. The nonlinear temporal dynamics in neural networks is the third area for collaboration.

Relativistic Electron Beam Propagation in the Ion Focusing Regime
Author: J. R. Smith
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
This report presents observations on propagation of a mildly relativistic electron beam (gamma = 2.4) in several different gases (air, Helium, Nitrogen, Argon) at low pressure (10-320 mTorr). At such low pressures, and with beam currents of several kiloamperes, beam induced ionization may result in self focusing of an electron beam. Beams propagating under this condition are said to be in the ion focusing regime of propagation. The injected beam has an rms radius of 0.7 cm and a transverse temperature of 35 keV. Beam transport efficiency was measured for He, N2 and Ar. A simple calculation was performed to determine the space charge neutralization fraction as a function of time. Using the results of this calculation, the charge transport efficiency is found and compared with the experimentally measured quantity. Keywords: Electron Beam; Ion Focused Regime.
