Experimental investigations on density bunching and its power influence in a relativistic backward-wave oscillator with low-magnetic-field operation

In a relativistic backward-wave oscillator operating at a low magnetic field, forward intense relativistic electron beams propagate with large transverse velocities and form a non-uniform beam-density distribution. This paper first investigates periodical density bunching by bombarding targets with...

description In a relativistic backward-wave oscillator operating at a low magnetic field, forward intense relativistic electron beams propagate with large transverse velocities and form a non-uniform beam-density distribution. This paper first investigates periodical density bunching by bombarding targets with electron beams in a relativistic drift tube. Then, the dependence of the density-bunching phase on interaction efficiency is studied experimentally for the first time with a C-band relativistic backward-wave oscillator. The results show a reduction in microwave power of over 40%, arising from a mismatch between the density-bunching phase and the standing-wave field in the resonant reflector, which is in reasonable agreement with particle-in-cell simulation results.
