摘要
A method for conditioning electron beams is proposed to enhance gain in resonant electron-beam devices by introducing a correlation between betatron amplitude and energy. This correlation reduces the axial-velocity spread within the beam, and thereby eliminates an often severe constraint on beam emittance. Free-electron-laser performance with a conditioned beam is examined and analysis is performed of a conditioner consisting of a periodic array of FODO channels and idealized microwave cavities excited in the TM210 mode. Numerical examples are discussed.
