Transverse Space-Charge Field-Induced Plasma Dynamics for Ultraintense Electron-Beam Characterization

Similarly to laser or x-ray beams, the interaction of sufficiently intense particle beams with neutral gases will result in the creation of plasma. In contrast to photon-based ionization, the strong unipolar field of a particle beam can generate a plasma where the electron population receives a larg...
