This book develops analytical and computer models for beams in which Coulomb interactions are important. The research into the different phenomena of Coulomb interactions in particle beams is stimulated by developments in the field of electron beam lithography for VLSI electronics. The standard theory of charged particle optics breaks down for intense beams in which interactions between particles are significant. This monograph is devoted to the theory of these intense beams, which are not only used in VLSI electronics but also in scanning electron microscopes. The theory is also applicable to focused ion beams, which are used in VLSI mask repair.
