Abstract :
Injection of modulated intense relativistic electron beams into resonant structures can result in highly efficient transfer of beam energy into electromagnetic fields. We have performed electromagnetic PIC simulations of a simple, but representative two-beam accelerator configuration to understand the self-consistent dynamics which affect accelerator performance. Among the issues examined are the effects of the impedances of the primary and secondary beams.
