AbstractA model of electron acceleration by an electron Bernstein mode in a parabolic density profile is developed. The mode has a Gaussian profile. It could be excited via the mode conversion of an electromagnetic wave or by an electron beam. As it attains a large amplitude, it axially traps electrons moving close to its parallel phase velocity, where parallel refers to the direction of static magnetic field. As the electrons are accelerated and tend to get out of phase with the wave, the transverse field of the mode enhances its energy and relativistic mass, increasing the dephasing length. The scheme can produce electron energies up to a few MeV.

Millimetre Wave

An intense short laser pulse or a millimetre wave propagating through a plasma channel may act as a wiggler for the generation of shorter wavelengths. When a relativistic electron beam is launched into the channel from the opposite direction, the laser radiation is Compton/Raman backscattered to produce coherent radiation at shorter wavelengths. The scheme, however, requires a superior beam quality with energy spread less than 1% in the Raman regime.

Abstract The resonant photon energy of an adjustable-phase undulator (APU) is varied with the relative motion of the magnet arrays along the longitudinal direction. There exists, however, a transverse field gradient (TFG) of order 100 T/m in an APU of small gap (∼10 mm). Whereas the TFG might affect the electron beam as it contributes to the dynamic field integral and the radiation integrals, the TFG might also degrade the performance of the synchrotron radiation due to the transverse position-dependent magnetic field. The effects of the TFG on the present Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) and future TPS-upgraded are analyzed to investigate the feasibility of an APU that operates in the soft x-ray region.

AbstractA theoretical formalism is developed to obtain the mode structure of right circularly polarized nonlinear laser Eigen mode in a self created plasma channel in the presence of an axial magnetic field. The nonlinearity in electron response arises due to relativistic mass effect and ponderomotive force induced density redistribution. The Eigen mode is seen to be unstable to stimulated Raman backscattering involving an electrostatic quasi-mode and a scattered electromagnetic wave. The growth rate increases with ambient magnetic field.

Cyclotron Maser

The amplification of an electromagnetic wave by net stimulated bremsstrahlung (the emission by stimulated bremsstrahlung minus the absorption by inverse bremsstrahlung) injected into a non-relativistic dilute electron beam travelling in a uniform magnetic field is considered. The d.c. ponderomotive force by net stimulated emission is calculated by using quantum kinetics. From the calculated ponderomotive force, the amplification of the intensity of the electromagnetic wave by the net stimulated bremsstrahlung is derived as a function of the relevant parameters of the electromagnetic wave and the electron beam. It is found that masing is possible when the perpendicular temperature of the electron beam is greater than its parallel temperature. It is shown that the efficiency of a practical gyrotron cannot be explained by the phase-bunching concept, and that simulated bremsstrahlung has nothing to do with any phase bunching.

AbstractElectron dynamics in an axially localized large amplitude electron Bernstein mode in a magnetic mirror is studied. The mode is localized due to plasma density and magnetic field profiles and could be driven by an electron cyclotron wave, launched from outside, via linear mode conversion. Energetic electrons of finite gyro-radius resonantly interact with the mode and gain primarily transverse energy favoring stronger mirror confinement. At Bernstein wave normalized amplitude of A00 = 0.01 and for other normalized parameters Zn0 = 40, k⊥c/ω = 10, ${L}^{\prime}_m = 215$, ωc0/ω = 0.9, ψn0 = 3π/2, the electrons can gain energy in the hundreds of keV range.
