Radiation of a Charge Moving in a Wire Structure

Abstract

A theoretical approach for describing the electromagnetic radiation produced by prolonged electron bunch propagating in the lattice of metallic wires of finite length is presented. This approach is based on vibrator antenna theory and involves approximate solving of Hallen's integral equation. For a single wire, it is also supposed that a wire is sufficiently thin and charge motion is relativistic. For many-wire structures, the approximation similar to kinematic approach of parametric X-ray radiation (PXR) theory is additionally applied. The validity of the method is verified by numerical simulations with COMSOL Multiphysics. Possible applications of interaction between charged particle bunches and artificial wire structures are discussed.
