Theory of space-charge waves on gradient-profile relativistic electron beam: an analysis in propagating eigenmodes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We developed an exact analytical treatment for space-charge waves within a relativistic electron beam in terms of (self-reproducing) propagating eigenmodes. This result is of obvious theoretical relevance as it constitutes one of the few exact solution for the evolution of charged particles under the action of self-interactions. It also has clear numerical applications in particle accelerator physics where it can be used as the first self-consistent benchmark for space-charge simulation programs. Today our work is of practical relevance in FEL technology in relation with all those schemes where an optically modulated electron beam is needed and with the study of longitudinal space-charge instabilities in magnetic bunch compressors.

The Effect of an Under-Dense Plasma Density Gradient on the Backstreaming Ion Mechanism
The space charge limited emission of ions from a target in the focus of an intense relativistic electron beam is studied analytically for the case of a spatially varying target density profile. In particular, the emission in the presence of an under-dense plasma shelf in contact with the solid density target dramatically differs from the case of an abrupt solid-vacuum boundary. It is found that...

متن کاملChaotic Behavior and Halo Development in the Transverse Dynamics of Heavy Ion Beams
This paper reviews results obtained from recent analytical and numerical investigations of chaotic behavior and halo development induced by charge density inhomogeneities in the transverse dynamics of heavy ion beams. In particular, a test-particle model is used to investigate the charged-particle dynamics in an intense, matched, heavy ion beam with nonuniform density profile propagating throug...
متن کاملSimulation of Space Charge Waves in Finite Length High-Current Beams with Wall Resistivity
Collective space charge effects play an important role in intense unneutral ized beams of non relativistic heavy ions, which are of interest in recently proposed high-current accelerators (such as drivers for inertial confinement fusion etc.). Of particular importance is the propagation of wave-like perturbations including the destabilizing effect of dissipation due to finite electrical conduct...
متن کاملSpace-frequency model of ultrawide-band interactions in free-electron lasers.
The principle of operation of intense radiation devices such as microwave tubes, free-electron lasers, and masers, is based on a distributed interaction between an electron beam and electromagnetic radiation. Some of the effects emerging during the interaction involve a continuum of frequencies in their broadband spectrum. We developed a three-dimensional, space-frequency theory for the analysi...
