Transient self-amplified Cerenkov radiation with a short pulse electron beam
An analytic and numerical examination of the slow wave Cerenkov free electron maser is presented. We consider the steady-state amplifier configuration as well as operation in the self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) regime. The linear theory is extended to include electron beams that have a pa...
