Recuperation in superpower Cherenkov generators with a nonuniform magnetic field

We consider an effective method for increasing the total efficiency of relativistic Cherenkov generators, viz., recuperation. It has been found that, for a generator with an efficiency smaller than 15%, recuperation makes it possible to obtain an increase in the efficiency that exceeds 50% (from 12%...

Description
Summary:We consider an effective method for increasing the total efficiency of relativistic Cherenkov generators, viz., recuperation. It has been found that, for a generator with an efficiency smaller than 15%, recuperation makes it possible to obtain an increase in the efficiency that exceeds 50% (from 12% to 68%). In generators with initially high efficiency (more than 50%), recuperation may turn out to be ineffective.
