Strong beam-plasma turbulence
Abstract
High-power broadband microwave radiation was observed when an intense relativistic electron beam was injected into an unmagnetized gun-produced plasma. From spectroscopic measurements of hf strong electric fields in the plasma, it was found that our beam-plasma system is in the strong Langmuir turbulent state. A preliminary result indicating the relation between the radiation and the turbulence is shown.
