Abstract
Plasma-produced electrons have been trapped for long periods of time in orbits around a positively charged wire. Since the frequency of rotation of each electron increases if it loses kinetic energy and sinks into the positive-potential well, phase bunching resulting in intense microwave emission can be easily excited.Keywords
