 | | The goal of this paper is to generalize the Robinson stability criteria, for a charged particle beam interacting with the radio-frequency cavity resonator that is responsible for accelerating it, to the case that the resonator is equipped with a delayed voltage-proportional feedback. |
 | | We start by reviewing the Nyquist criterion and then formulating an algebraic version which is then used to give a general, exact, analytic procedure for determining whether a transcendental equation has poles/zeros in the right-half complex plane. |
 | | The method is first applied to determining the limiting feedback gain of a resonator alone, and then to the problem of finding analogues of the Robinson criteria. |
