Simulation of a dc electron beam strongly influenced by self-fields

Simulation of a dc electron beam strongly influenced by self-fields

A method is presented to simulate the transport of a dc charged particle beam strongly influenced by its self-fields. If the initial phase space of the beam is chosen to be a Kapchinskij-Vladimirskij distribution, the simulation is in agreement with the Kapchinskij-Vladimirskij envelope equations. T...
