Abstract
A novel plasma klystron amplifier is presented in which current modulation of a relativistic electron beam is achieved by the unstable two-stream interaction between the electron beam and a plasma column. A model to describe current modulation is developed. Due to a relatively large growth rate of the instability, required interaction length of the beam and plasma column is short for most applications. A full current modulation can be achieved in the plasma klystron amplifiers
