Title: Motion of ionized electrons under the intense electromagnetic field of the beam

The motion of an electron ionized from residual gas by the beam becomes relativistic in the case of a high-density beam as in SLC, while the ions produced by the beam remain nonrelativistic. The ionized relativistic electron will be dragged by the beam, and will go away from the beam (electron beam) before the beam passes, even for the very short bunch of SLC. In this note, we discuss the motions of electrons ionized by the electron beam or by the positron beam. We assume that the density of the beam is uniform and the shape cylindrical (transversely round and longitudinally rectangular).
