This indispensable work offers a broad synoptic description of beams, applicable to a wide
range of other devices, such as low-energy focusing and transport systems and high-power …

The transverse evolution of the envelope of an intense, unbunched ion beam in a linear
transport channel can be modeled for the approximation of linear self-fields by the …

A nonneutral plasma is a many-body collection of charged particles in which there is not
overall charge neutrality. The diverse areas of application of nonneutral plasmas include …

In this paper, we present an object-oriented threedimensional parallel particle-in-cell code
for beam dynamics simulation in linear accelerators. A two-dimensional parallel domain …

Self-consistent Vlasov-Poisson simulations of beams with high space-charge intensity often
require specification of initial phase-space distributions that reflect properties of a beam that …

The transverse motion of beam halo particles is described by a particle-core model which
uses the space-charge field of a continuous cylindrical oscillating beam core in a uniform …

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the operating principles and technology of
electron lenses in supercolliders. Electron lenses are a novel instrument for high energy …

The behavior of KV, waterbag, parabolic, conical and Gaussian distributions in periodic
quadrupole channels is studied by particle simulations. It is found that all these different …

Using high energy accelerators for energy production by nuclear fission goes back to the
1950's with plans for “breeder accelerators” as well as with early ideas on subcritical …

Charged particle beams that are not perfectly matched or centered when injected into a
focusing channel (or accelerator) have a higher total transverse energy than the equivalent …
