Abstract

The nonlinear dynamics of the diocotron instability of an electron beam in a waveguide is investigated by numerical simulations. A study is made of how the structures arising in the beam depend on the geometric parameters of the problem. It is shown that the energy source for such azimuthal structures is the initial (stored in the formation of the beam) electrostatic energy of the unneutralized beam charge.
