Smoluchowski approach to nonlinear Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equations: Stability analysis of beam dynamics and Haïssinski theory

For a class of Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equations that have frequently been used to examine beam dynamic instabilities in accelerators and storage rings, it is shown that the stability of stationary distributions can be determined by studying reduced models defined by Smoluchowski equations. This is ill...
