Nonlinear space-charge waves on an intense relativistic electron beam

Journal Article · · IEEE Trans. Plasma Sci.; (United States)
OSTI ID:7155056
The propagation characteristics of the large-amplitude space-charge waves on a modulated intense relativistic electron beam are calculated. It is shown that the slow space-charge waves may cease to propagate if the modulating voltage is sufficiently high, whereas the fast waves are relatively unaffected by the nonlinearity. The limiting electron velocity inferred from the analytical theory is in excellent agreement with particle simulation. The implications are discussed.
