Abstract: | Results are presented from experimental studies of the energy spectra of an electron beam in a model beam-plasma oscillator based on a hybrid plasma waveguide in the pulsed mode of microwave generation with a pulse duration of 1 µs or shorter. The beam energy spent on sustaining the beam-plasma discharge in a slow-wave structure is measured. A correlation between the type of excited waves and the generation of a group of accelerated beam electrons with energies exceeding the injection energy is revealed. It is shown that the pulsed mode of microwave generation is related to the time variations in the plasma density profile in the waveguide and the trapping of beam electrons by the excited microwave field. |
