The super-klystron compression of a train of high-charge, relativistic electron rings
Abstract
Theoretical calculations are presented on enhancement of the energy of collective electric and magnetic fields of electrons by reduction of the axial train length of electron rings during superklystron compression; it is considered that when the back rings catch up to the front ones, the length and transit time of the train is reduced, while the power (at constant energy) increases. Formulas for determining the smallest train length before destruction of the train are presented. These formulas make it possible to determine maximum energy and power concentrations in a rotating electron configuration.
