Excitation of Wake Field in Dielectric Waveguide

Abstract

The investigation of wake fields, which are excited in a dielectric waveguide by relativistic electron bunch, is interesting for both high-gradient method of acceleration of charged particle and generation of microwave radiation. In the given paper the processes of excitation of wake field in cylindrical dielectric waveguide are investigated theoretically and numerically. Both linear and non-linear process stages are considered. The multimode distribution (50 harmonics) with large value of permittivity εd ~10 leads to concentration of electric field as a set of thin peaks of different polarity, which follow along system axis with period that corresponds to wavelength of first harmonic, and the amplitude of resulting field exceed many times that of the base mode. The accounting of particles displacement in arising field leads to the decrease of amplitude of active field and widening of peaks. Moreover the radial displacement of particles provides a restriction on the effective length of decelerating system because particles of a bunch hit walls of the waveguide system.
