Abstract
The effect of beam thickness In a two-dimensional Cherenkov laser is i nvestigated on the basis of the fluid model for the electron beam. In the analysis, the transverse variation of the drift velocity for the e lectron beam is taken into account. The numerical simulation shows tha t there exists an optimum beam thickness for an efficient use of the e lectron beam in the Cherenkov laser. (C) 1995 American Institute of Ph ysics.
