This symposium will continue the traditional, highly popular “Strong Microwaves in Plasmas” Conference. The main research fields that will be discussed include such fundamental problems of high-power RF electronics as ways to ensure high efficiency and coherence of radiation in oversized gyrotron systems, free-electron masers, and the devices based on transient and Cherenkov radiation of relativistic and non-relativistic electron beams. The range of relatively new concepts include the devices based on the effects of the so-called supperadiance of extended electron bunches and new highly efficient ways of converting the energy of pulsed electron beams to electromagnetic radiation in the non-stationary generation regimes. A significant share of the presentations will deal with the methods of conversion and transportation of strong microwaves. The symposium will also cover the issues connected with the development of electron-optical and electrodynamical systems of high-power microwave sources, as well as up-to-date methods of numerical modeling of high-power devices.
