Abstract
The interaction of the bunched particle beam in a linear accelerator with the waveguide structure produces several effects which go under the general name of beam-loading. These effects include reduction, redistribution, and phase shift of the rf field in the waveguide, changes in the tuning of the waveguide structure, excitation of other waveguide modes, and various transient phenomena. A discussion of these various effects and methods for their calculation will be presented.
