AbstractThe out-of-equilibrium situation in which an initially sharp-edged cylindrical electron beam, that could, e.g., model electrons flowing within a wire, is injected into a plasma is considered. A detailed computation of the subsequently produced magnetic field is presented. The control parameter of the problem is shown to be the ratio of the beam radius to the electron skin depth. Two alternative ways to address analytically the problem are considered: one uses the usual Laplace transform approach, the other one involves Riemann's method in which causality conditions manifest through some integrals of triple products of Bessel functions.

We solve analytically the out-of-equilibrium initial stage that follows the injection of a radially finite electron beam into a plasma at rest and test it against particle-in-cell simulations. For initial large beam edge gradients and not too large beam radius, compared to the electron skin depth, the electron beam is shown to evolve into a ring structure. For low enough transverse temperatures, filamentation instability eventually proceeds and saturates when transverse isotropy is reached. The analysis accounts for the variety of very recent experimental beam transverse observations.

A non-local theory of whistler and quasi-static mode excitation by an annular electron beam in a plasma cylinder is presented. Čerenkov and slow-cyclotron interaction are considered in the weak-beam approximation. The growth rate is found to be quite sensitive to the beam radius except in the case of slow-cyclotron interaction of quasi-static modes. The growth rate varies significantly with beam velocity in the case of Čerenkov interaction of quasi-static modes, but in other cases it is rather insensitive to the beam velocity.

To study the influence of the electron beam radius on the deposition parameters in dielectric under high energy electron irradiation, a model of dielectric irradiated by plane electron beam source was established. Monte Carlo simulation method was used to calculate the distribution of the injection current density, injection charge density, dose rate and radiation induced conductivity in the dielectric layer of Teflon after electron irradiation with different energies and different beam radii. The results show that the radius of the electron beam source has little influence on the distribution trend of the injection current density in the dielectric layer, as well as the peak position of the injection charge density and the dose rate, but it will significantly affect the peak value of injection charge density and the dose rate. When the electron beam radius is smaller than the dielectric layer radius, the calculated peak is higher than that of the electron beam completely covering the dielectric layer. The higher the electron energy is, the greater the relative deviation will be.
