A theoretical analysis is made of the longitudinal stability of intense beams of charged particles in high energy storage rings. The effect of externally applied radiofrequency fields, i.e., synchrotron oscillations, is included. For electron and positron beams, the damping and quantum excitation due to particle radiation are also included. A criterion for the stability of small longitudinal plasma oscillations is derived and used to obtain the stable size of intense stored beams of electrons and positrons.
