Abstract
Results are presented from experimental studies of the interaction of a modulated relativistic electron beam with a plasma. The electron energy spectra at the exit from the interaction chamber are measured for electron beams with energies of about 50 and 20 MeV. The coherent interaction of an electron beam with a microwave-driven plasma is studied. It is shown that, in strong electric fields that can be generated in the coherent interaction, the beam current is very sensitive to the phase of the microwave field.
