A nonrelativistic warm-fluid model is employed in the electrostatic approximation to
investigate the equilibrium and stability properties of an unbunched, continuously focused …

Collective processes in intense charged particle beams described self-consistently by the
Vlasov-Maxwell equations are studied using a 3D multispecies nonlinear perturbative …

Stochastic phenomena occurring within charged particle beams can be handled using the
Vlasov-Fokker-Planck generalization of the Vlasov equation. In particular, this …

Global conservation constraints based on the nonlinear Vlasov-Maxwell equations are used
to derive a three-dimensional kinetic stability theorem for an intense non-neutral ion beam …

The present analysis makes use of the Vlasov-Maxwell equations to develop a fully kinetic
description of the electrostatic, electron-ion two-stream instability driven by the directed axial …

The Vlasov equation embodies the smooth field approximation of the self-consistent
equation of motion for charged particle beams. This framework is fundamentally altered if we …
