Abstract
The axial drift of a relativistic electron beam along a uniform magnetic field is shown theoretically to lead to significant frequency up-shifts for linear cyclotron-wave instabilities driven by velocity-space anisotropy. This mechanism suggests novel means for the development of devices for generation of intense far-infrared power.
