Terahertz Cherenkov radiation induced by a self-modulated electron beam in plasma wakefield

In this paper, a novel scheme of generating terahertz radiation is proposed, which considers a relativistic electron beam being modulated by its self-excited plasma wakefield in a plasma-filled slow-wave structure (SWS). Both the dispersion relation and the particle-in-cell simulation show that the...
