Abstract
The effect of plasma loading in the field structure and dispersive characteristics of slow cyclotron waves propagated in electron beams is studied. A requirement is established for the maximum permissible plasma concentration at which a slow cyclotron wave can be used for collective ion acceleration. The degree of vacuum required for operation of an autoresonant accelerator is estimated.
