We investigate the electromagnetic radiation of a bunch moving along a corrugated conductive surface. It is assumed that wavelengths under consideration are much more than the period of the corrugation. In this case, the corrugated structure can be replaced with a smooth surface on which so-called equivalent boundary conditions (EBC) are fulfilled*. In fact, we deal with anisotropic surface characterized by certain matrix impedance. Here, we consider the case of deep corrugation, i.e. we assume that the depth of the structure is much more than its period (the case of shallow corrugation was studied earlier**). Using the EBC we obtain electromagnetic field components which are presented in form of spectral integrals. It is shown that the bunch generates surface waves propagating in the plane of the structure, whereas volume radiation is absent at the frequencies under consideration. We also consider the energy losses of the bunch. Typical dependences of a spectral density of the energy losses on corrugation parameters are obtained and analyzed. It is demonstrated that the features of the surface waves can be used for the bunch diagnostics.

Contemporary beam and THz technologies are tightly interlaced during last years. Strong THz fields allow realization of THz driven electron guns, THz bunch compression, streaking* and THz driven wakefield acceleration**. Inversely, dielectric capillaries similar to those used for THz bunch manipulation can be in turn utilized for development of high-power narrow-band THz sources***. Mentioned cases involve interaction of THz waves and particle bunches with an open end of certain dielectric loaded waveguide structure, most frequently a circular capillary. For further development of the discussed prospective topics a rigorous approach allowing analytical investigation of both radiation from open-ended capillaries and their excitation by external source would be extremely useful. We present an elegant and efficient rigorous method for solving circular open-ended dielectric-loaded waveguide diffraction problems based on Wiener-Hopf technique. We deal with the case of uniform dielectric loading and internal excitation by a waveguide mode. S-parameters, near-field and far-field distributions are presented. The obtained results can be also applied to the narrow band wakefield.

We propose a new type of axisymmetric dielectric target - an "axicon-based concentrator" - which effectively concentrates generated Cherenkov radiation (CR) into a small vicinity of a focus point. It consists of two "glued" bodies of revolution: a hollow axicon and a hollow "lens." A theoretical investigation of the radiation field produced by a charge moving through the discussed radiator is performed for the general case where a charge trajectory is shifted with respect to the structure axis. The idea of a dielectric target with a specific profile of the outer surface and suitable analytical methods were presented and developed in our preceding papers *, **. An essential advantage of the current version of the device is that it allows the efficient concentration of CR energy from relativistic particles, making this device extremely prospective for various applications such as beam-driven THz sources and bunch diagnostic systems.
