By passing an Received 27 February 2015 electron beam through a hollow conical dielectric with apex facing the incident electron beam, the wave Received in revised form 15 May 2015 front of coherent Cherenkov radiation generated on the inner surface of the hollow conical dielectric Accepted 16 May 2015 matches the basal plane. Using the electron beam generated at the Laboratory for Electron Beam Research Available online 21 May 2015 Communicated by V.A. Markel and Application at Nihon University, the calculated power of coherent Cherenkov radiation that matched the circular plane (CCR-MCP) was above 1 MW per micropulse with
