Abstract
The interaction of a relativistic electron beam (REB) with inhomogeneous, magneto-active, relativistic warm plasma is theoretically investigated. The nonlinear formation of waves at second and triple frequency at the inlet of the beam into the plasma is investigated. Effects of external static or oscillating magnetic field are considered. Nonlinear effects associated with the generation of second and triple harmonics, play an important role in the process of energy transfer from the beam to the plasma as compared with linear stage.
