The authors make a theoretical study of the excitation of a monochromatic plasma wave by a modulated electron beam in an inhomogeneous plasma when synchronism is kept up between the beam and the excited wave. Results are also given of experimental studies on the interaction of a modulated beam with a homogeneous and an inhomogeneous plasma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
