Abstract
An amplifier on cold, relativistic, guided electron beams is considered. The problem is reduced to a set of first-order, linear, ordinary differential equations. The dispersion relation governing the stability of the system is derived and its solutions are studied numerically. The results of the calculations show that in the submillimeter regime, the spatial growth rates in the system may be comparable to those predicted for Raman-free electron lasers.
