Electron Packets to Investigate Nonlinear Phenomena in Wave-Particle Interaction.
A. Macor, F. Doveil, and E. Garabedian

We make experiments on nonlinear phenomena with a specially designed Traveling Wave Tube where an electron beam interacts with electrostatic waves; such a system has paradigmatic Hamiltonian behavior which we describe in our different tests. Here we present our strategy in order to explore wave-particle interaction and introduce a new device able to produce subnanosecond pulses at high repetition rate.
Key words: hamiltonian chaos, travelling wave tube, devil's staircase, control
