Nonlinear dynamics deals with parametric resonances and diffusion. The phenomena are usually beam-intensity independent and rely on a particle Hamiltonian. Collective instabilities deal with beam coherent motion, where the Vlasov equation is frequently used in conjunction with a beam-intensity dependent Hamiltonian. We address the questions: Are the two descriptions the same Are collective instabilities the results of encountering parametric resonances whose driving force is intensity dependent We study here the example of a space-charge dominated beam governed by the Kapchinskij-Vladimirskij (K-V) envelope equation [1]. The stability and instability regions as functions of tune depression and envelope mismatch are compared in the two approaches. The study has been restricted to the simple example of a uniformly focusing channel. [copyright] [ital 1999 American Institute of Physics.]
