摘要
The conditions and mechanisms of virtual cathode formation in relativistic and ultrarelativistic electron beams are analyzed with allowance for the magnetic self-field for different magnitudes of the external magnetic field. The typical behavior of the critical current at which an oscillating virtual cathode forms in a relativistic electron beam is investigated as a function of the electron energy and the magnitude of the uniform external magnetic field. It is shown that the conditions for virtual cathode formation in a low external magnetic field are determined by the influence of the magnetic self-field of the relativistic electron beam. In particular, azimuthal instability of the electron beam caused by the action of the beam magnetic self-field, which leads to a reduction in the critical current of the relativistic electron beam, is revealed.
