Abstract
Stability features of the Pierce diode steady states are investigated in the presence of electron-background-particle collisions. The regime without electron reflection from the potential barriers is studied. Steady states are obtained analytically by means of the Lagrangian fluid description. Employing the first order perturbation theory, the relevant dispersion equation is derived. Both aperiodic and oscillatory solutions of this equation are found and their properties are studied.
