Effect of Electron Beam Thickness Upon the Performance of a Resonant Type-O Carcinotron with a Tapered Magnetostatic Field

Abstract

Theoretical analysis of O-type generator efficiency is performed for different thickness of sheet electron beam and spatial distributions of magnetic focusing field. Tilted focusing field and locally nonuniform one are considered. Effect of the electron beam thickness on the beam-wave interaction efficiency is investigated for regimes of maximum amplification and maximum power.
