Abstract
On the basis of a quantum-mechanical analysis by Smith of the interaction of an electron beam with an oscillating resonant cavity, the fluctuations in energy flow in the beam have been analyzed. The expressions for the classical and quantal cases are compared and it is concluded that, under extreme limiting conditions of operation, a just perceptible difference might be observed.
