Leading national thinking on politics, government & public policy through Open Access research

Strathprints makes available scholarly Open Access content by researchers in the School of Government & Public Policy, based within the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences.

Research here is 1st in Scotland for research intensity and spans a wide range of domains. The Department of Politics demonstrates expertise in understanding parties, elections and public opinion, with additional emphases on political economy, institutions and international relations. This international angle is reflected in the European Policies Research Centre (EPRC) which conducts comparative research on public policy. Meanwhile, the Centre for Energy Policy provides independent expertise on energy, working across multidisciplinary groups to shape policy for a low carbon economy.

Konoplev, I.V. and Cross, A.W. and MacInnes, P. and He, W. and Whyte, C.G. and Phelps, A.D.R. and Robertson, C.W. and Ronald, K. (2006) High-current oversized annular electron beam formation for high-power microwave research. Applied Physics Letters, 89 (17). 171503-1-171503-3. ISSN 0003-6951

Abstract

The authors report the study of a high-current accelerator, capable of producing thin (2 mm) annular, mildly relativistic (450 keV) electron beams (up to 1.5 kA) of diameter of 70 mm. Propagation of an electron beam through a 2 m long, coaxial beam channel, with inner and outer conductor radii of 30 and 40 mm, respectively, was demonstrated with the electron beam current at the beam-channel output measured using a Rogowski coil. The results obtained are compared with those predicted via numerical simulation. The electron beam obtained was used for proof-of-concept work demonstrating the operation of a high-power maser operating at millimeter wavelengths, using two-dimensional distributed feedback.
