Influence of electron–ion collisions in plasma on the electron energy gain using the TE₁₁mode inside an elliptical waveguide

Abstract

The influence of electron-ion collisions in plasma on the electron energy gain and total energy of an externally injected electron inside an elliptical waveguide, including collisional plasma using the transverse electric mode, is investigated. It is noted that microwave radiation is used for excitations of the TE 11 even mode in the configuration. The electromagnetic field components of the TE 11  mode in the considered waveguide are obtained and graphically presented. It is seen that the strength of the fields reduces in the collisional plasma. Furthermore, the deflection angle, energy gain of the electron and total energy of the electron due to the mode are obtained. It is illustrated that electron-ion collisions in plasma reduce the energy gain and total energy of electrons injected into the elliptical waveguide.

Investigation of TE and TM modes fields and injected electron dynamic in the plasma waveguide with Piet Hein cross section

“…It is clear that the type of waveguide cross section can play an important role in this goal. Much researches have been done by researchers on the acceleration and dynamics of charged particles in waveguides with rectangular, triangular, circular and elliptical cross sections [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”

“…The electron acceleration and dynamic in a rectangular waveguide considering for TM mode [15], in a circular waveguide considering a static helical magnet for TE mode [16], in the circular cold [17], warm [18] magnetized plasma waveguide, in a rectangular inhomogeneous plasma waveguide [19], in a rectangular plasma waveguide considering external magnetic field effect [20] and in the collisional plasma elliptical waveguide [21] have been investigated. The direct electron acceleration by a radially polarized laser [22], high-efficiency acceleration of an electron beam in a plasma wakefield accelerator [23] and the field analysis of a dielectricloaded rectangular waveguide accelerating structure have been studied [24].…”
