Kinetic description of intense beam propagation through a periodic focusing field for uniform phase-space density

The Vlasov-Maxwell equations are used to investigate the nonlinear evolution of an intense sheet beam with distribution function f_{b}\(x,x^{′},s\) propagating through a periodic focusing lattice κ_{x}\(s+S\)=κ_{x}\(s\), where S=const is the lattice period. The analysis considers the special class o...
