Abstract

It is shown that the negative mass instability in a rotating relativistic electron layer may be stabilized by a radial dc electric field of a suitable magnitude. The stabilization mechanism is independent of the beam velocity spread, and is insensitive to the beam current, the container geometry, or the azimuthal mode number. A simple stability criterion is given.
