Title: Macroscopic Description of Pressure-anisotropy-driven Collective Instability in Intense Charged Particle Beams

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/761104· OSTI ID:761104

The macroscopic warm-fluid model developed by Lund and Davidson [Phys.Plasmas 5, 3028 (1998)] is used in the smooth-focusing approximation to investigate detailed stability properties of an intense charged particle beam with pressure anisotropy, assuming small-amplitude electrostatic pertubations about a waterbag equilibrium.
