Calculation of electron trajectories in a microwave cavity
Abstract
The relativistic equation describing the motion of electrons of a beam with annular cross section in the electromagnetic field of a cylindrical guide operating at TE sub 021 mode is solved numerically. Calculating the electrons energy along the cavity, the processes of energy exchange between the RF fields and the beam are investigated. It is verified that the energy extracted by the electromagnetic fields in the resonant cavity comes from the transverse rotational energy of the electrons.
