A problem of diffraction of a symmetrical transverse magnetic mode $ text{TM}_{0l} $ by an open-ended cylindrical waveguide corrugated inside is considered. A depth and a period of corrugations are supposed to be much less than the wavelength and the waveguide radius. Therefore a corrugated waveguide wall can be described in terms of equivalent boundary conditions, i.e. a corresponding impedance boundary condition can be applied. Both vacuum case and the case of uniform dielectric filling of the waveguide is considered. The diffraction problem is solved using the modified tayloring technique in Jones formulation. Solution of the Wiener-Hopf-Fock equation of the problem is used to obtain an infinite linear system for reflection coefficients, the latter can be solved numerically using the reduction technique.

A rigorous approach for solving canonical circular open-ended dielectric-lined waveguide diffraction problems is presented. This is continuation of our recent paper [1] where a simpler case of uniform dielectric filling has been considered. Here we deal with the case of an open-ended circular waveguide with layered dielectric filling which is closer to potential applications. The presented method uses the solution of corresponding Wiener-Hopf-Fock equation and leads to an infinite linear system for reflection coefficients (S-parameters) of the waveguide, the latter can be efficiently solved numerically using the reducing technique. As a specific example directly applicable to beam-driven radiation sources based on dielectric-lined capillaries, diffraction of a slow TM symmetrical mode at the open end of the described waveguide is considered. A series of such modes forms the wakefield (Cherenkov radiation field) generated by a charged particle bunch during its passage along the vacuum channel axis. Calculated S-parameters were compared with those obtained from COMSOL simulation and an excellent agreement was shown. This method is expected to be very convenient for analytical investigation of various electromagnetic interactions of Terahertz (THz) waves (both free and guided) and charged particle bunches with slow-wave structures prospective in context of modern beam-driven THz emitters, THz accererators and THz-based bunch manipulation and bunch diagnostic systems.

We investigate the radiation from a charged particle moving outside a dielectric cylinder parallel to its axis. It is assumed that the cylinder is immersed into a homogeneous medium. The expressions are given for the vector potential and for the electric and magnetic fields. The spectral distributions are studied for three types of the radiations: (i) Cherenkov radiation (CR) in the exterior medium, (ii) radiation on the guided modes of the dielectric cylinder, and (iii) emission of surface polaritons. Unlike the first two types of radiations, there is no velocity threshold for the generation of surface polaritons. The corresponding radiation is present in the spectral range where the dielectric permittivities of the cylinder and surrounding medium have opposite signs. The spectral range of the emitted surface polaritons becomes narrower with decreasing energy of the particle. The general results are illustrated for a special case of the Drude model for dispersion of the dielectric permittivity of the cylinder. We show that the presence of the cylinder may lead to the appearance of strong narrow peaks in the spectral distribution of the CR in the exterior medium. The conditions are specified for the appearance of those peaks and the corresponding heights and widths are analytically estimated. The collective effects of particles in bunches are discussed.
A method for producing narrow-band THz radiation proposes passing an ultra-relativistic beam through a metallic pipe with small periodic corrugations. We present results of a measurement of such an arrangement at Brookhavens Accelerator Test Facility (ATF). Our pipe was copper and was 5 cm long; the aperture was cylindrically symmetric, with a 1 mm (radius) bore and a corrugation depth (peak-to-peak) of 60 um. In the experiment we measured both the effect on the beam of the structure wakefield and the spectral properties of the radiation excited by the beam. We began by injecting a relatively long beam compared to the wavelength of the radiation, but with short rise time, to excite the structure, and then used a downstream spectrometer to infer the radiation wavelength. This was followed by injecting a shorter bunch, and then using an interferometer (also downstream of the corrugated pipe) to measure the spectrum of the induced THz radiation. For the THz pulse we obtain and compare with calculations: the central frequency, the bandwidth, and the spectral power---compared to a diffraction radiation background signal.
We consider electromagnetic radiation of a charged particle bunch moving uniformly along a corrugated planar metallic surface. It is assumed that the wavelengths under consideration are much larger than the period and the depth of corrugation. Using the method of the equivalent boundary conditions we obtain the Fourier-transform of the Hertz vector. It is demonstrated that the ultra-relativistic bunch excites the surface waves, whereas the volume radiation is absent. Fourier-transforms of the surface wave components and spectral density of energy losses are obtained and analyzed.
