Abstract
In this work we investigate the formation of runaway electrons in the electric field of a gas discharge. It is shown that the interaction of the runaway beam with the plasma results in the production of intense coherent electromagnetic radiation at frequencies in the region of the plasma frequency. The power of this radiation is much greater than the thermal noise power.
