Notes:
In this paper, a detailed theoretical analysis of electron acceleration in a TE111 cylindrical resonant cavity used as a cyclotron resonance accelerator is presented. The relativistic detuning limit on energy is found to depend critically on the externally applied dc magnetic field. The optimum value of the magnetic field, for a given operating frequency, electric field, and the cavity dimensions, is calculated. The cavity dimensions are optimized to get maximum peak-to-peak electric field so that higher electron energy can be obtained. It is also shown that most of the electrons, depending on the time of emission, end up in two accelerating bunches.
