Regenerative Deflection as a Parametrically Excited Resonance Phenomenon
Abstract
The phenomenon termed regenerative deflection is treated as a resonance mechanism forming only one of a larger class of similar mechanisms. Conditions of optimum coupling to promote the growth of radial oscillations are described, and the results of some numerical calculations are given. The causes of the axial spreading of the beam during the extraction period are analyzed, and methods of reducing such spreading are discussed. An electrodynamic system for creating the coupling inhomogeneities is also described.
