Title: Aspects of three field approximations: Darwin, frozen, EMPULSE

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5673870· OSTI ID:5673870

The traditional approach used to study high energy beam propagation relies on the frozen field approximation. A minor modification of the frozen field approximation yields the set of equations applied to the analysis of the hose instability. These models are constrasted with the Darwin field approximation. A statement is made of the Darwin model equations relevant to the analysis of the hose instability.
