Abstract

A gyrotron energy transfer equation for the interaction of an annular electron beam in a right-cylindrical cavity has been derived by a rigorous method similar to the one used by Choe and Ahn to find a gyrotron dispersion equation. This new energy transfer equation makes no assumption about the size of the electron orbits. The importance of various terms is discussed and the expression is applied to a number of interesting special cases.
