The results of nonlinear theory of interaction of modulated electron
beams with semi-bounded plasma as well as with plasma waveguides and
resonators are presented. Instability of a bounded electron beam in
unbounded plasma is studies. Interaction of spiral electron beam with
plasma waveguide is studied. Decay instability of electromagnetic field
of an ultra-relativistic beam in plasma with respect to excitation of
Langmuir and electromagnetic waves is studied. The process of excitation
longitudinal oscillations in plasma with continuous wide spectrum by a
relativistic electron beam in conditions when the beam density is
comparable to that of the plasma is considered. Channels of beam energy
loss in those conditions are studied and determinated. A theory of
multi-wave interaction of high-energy relativistic electron beam with
magnetized plasma waveguide is developed.
