Title: Model of beam head erosion

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5160221· OSTI ID:5160221

An analytical model of beam head dynamics is presented, leading to an estimate of the erosion rate due to the combined effects of Ohmic dissipation and scattering. Agreement with the results of a computer simulation and detailed one-dimensional computations is good in all respects except for the scaling of the erosion rate with net current.
