The effect of displacement and rotational misalignments of solenoid magnets with respect to the ideal beam propagation axis on the dynamics of intense charged particle beams have been studied. The equation of motion of the beam centroid has been obtained and found to be independent of any specific beam distribution. A Vlasov equilibrium distribution for the intense beam propagation through misaligned focussing channel has been obtained. Self-consistent simulation confirms the analytical result.
