Abstract

BS>(Aug A model of a neutralized electron beam in which the electrons make helical orbits about the axis is described. This differs from previous models in that there is no longitudinal field or azimuthal current. Three particular cases. corresponding to (1) uniform charge density in a solid beam. (2) uniform current density in a solid beam, and (3) uniform charge density in a hollow beam are analyzed. In none of these configurations is there a current limit, and all the electrons move in the forward direction. (auth)

Quasi-Bennett equilbrium of a relativistic electron beam

Journal Article Chikhachev, A - Sov. J. Plasma Phys. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)

A study is made of the equilibrium state of a neutralized relativistic electron beam described by a distribution function which has an exponential energy dependence, an exponential dependence on the longitudinal component of the generalized momentum, and a power-law dependence on the angular momentum of the particle with respect to the beam axis. When the exponent of the latter satisfies xi = 0, the distribution is an ordinary Bennett distribution. For xi>0, the current density corresponds to a hollow beam. Far from the axis, the current density falls off more rapidly than in an ordinary Bennett beam. The total beammore »« less
Space-charge limiting currents in magnetically focused intense relativistic beams with an ion channel

Journal Article Jianqing, Li; Yuanlong, Mo - Physics of Plasmas

The intense relativistic beam propagation through the drift tube filled with background plasma is investigated. The self-consistent differential equations, which describe the laminar-flow equilibria state in magnetically focused relativistic beams with an ion channel, are presented. By solving these equations using the Runge-Kutta method, the azimuthal velocity, the axial velocity, and the electron beam density, which are functions of radial position, can be calculated. Then the space-charge limiting current and the externally applied magnetic field can be obtained for solid beams and hollow beams. In the case of plasma fill, the axial velocity of the laminar flow is a nonuniformmore »« less

Validation of on- and off-axis neutral beam current drive against experiment in DIII-D

Journal Article Park, J; Murakami, M; Petty, C; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Neutral beam current drive (NBCD) experiments in DIII-D using vertically shifted plasmas to move the current drive away from the axis have clearly demonstrated robust off-axis NBCD. Time-dependent measurements of magnetic field pitch angles by the motional Stark effect diagnostic are used to obtain the evolution of the poloidal magnetic flux, which indicates a broad off-axis NBCD profile with a peak at about half the plasma minor radius. In most cases, the measured off-axis NBCD profile is consistent with calculations using an orbit-following Monte Carlo code for the beam ion slowing down including finite-orbit effects provided there is no large-scalemore »« less

The influence of a background plasma on the diocotron instability of a relativistic hollow electron beam. Final report

Technical Report Bilow, H; Uhm, H

The influence of a background plasma on the diocotron instability of a relativistic hollow electron beam is investigated within the framework of a cold fluid model. The background plasma is taken to have a uniform density except at the mean radius of the electron beam where the density is assumed to be discontinuous. Of the charged species comprising the plasma, only the electrons influence the dynamics of the beam-plasma system; the effect of the ions is negligible because of their small plasma frequency. A dispersion relation for the eigenfrequencies of the system is derived and employed to examine instabilities. Itmore »« less
