20世纪70年代和80年代是使用主动电子束实验来探测整个日光层和天体物理背景下发生的一些基本物理过程的鼎盛时期。电子束实验用于研究航天器充电和航天器-等离子体耦合;束-等离子体相互作用物理学;磁反弹和漂移物理学;极光物理学;波的产生;以及军事应用。虽然这些实验取得了巨大的成功，但它们也受到当时可用技术的限制。空间仪器、数据收集和加速器技术的新进展使在空间使用电子束的革命性新一代主动实验成为可能。在本文中，我们讨论这样一个实验，束等离子体相互作用实验（束PIE），探空火箭实验设计（a）推进高电子迁移率晶体管为基础的射频（RE）线性加速器电子技术的空间应用和（B）研究调制电子束的哨声和X模式波的生产。
The 1970s and 1980s were heydays for using active electron beam experiments to probe some of the fundamental physical processes that occur throughout the heliosphere and in astrophysical contexts. Electron beam experiments were used to study spacecraft charging and spacecraft-plasma coupling; beam-plasma interaction physics; magnetic bounce and drift physics; auroral physics; wave generation; and military applications. While these experiments were enormously successful, they were also limited by the technologies that were available at that time. New advances in space instrumentation, data collection, and accelerator technologies enable a revolutionary new generation of active experiments using electron beams in space. In this paper we discuss such an experiment, the Beam Plasma Interactions Experiment (Beam PIE), a sounding rocket experiment designed to (a) advance high-electron mobility transistor-based radio frequency (RE) linear accelerator electron technology for space applications and (b) study the production of whistler and X-mode waves by modulated electron beams.
