Abstract

The propagation of slow electrokinetic waves on finite electron beams which fill a conducting tunnel is discussed for modes of axial symmetry. In addition to the familiar space-charge modes, a pair of modes exists which are related to the vortex frequency ( \omega_{\upsilon} = \omega_{c} - 2\theta_{0} ). The finite magnetic field introduces a coupling between these modes. A set of four orthogonal modes can be derived by the use of matrix transformations, thus eliminating the necessity of solving a complicated characteristic equation. For infinitely high magnetic fields, the two additional modes disappear and the four modes reduce to the fast and slow space-charge waves.
