Popis: The production of a broadband microwave pulse from the interaction of an intense relativistic electron beam (IREB) with a plasma was studied experimentally. The beam-to-plasma density ratio ( n b / n p ) is an important parameter for the beam-plasma interaction. We found that there was an optimum value for n b / n p at which the power density was maximized. The optimum n b / n p was found to be ∼0.01, when varied in a range from 0.1 to 0.001. A brief consideration for the radiation intensity will be presented in this paper.
