Analytical Solutions for the Nonlinear Longitudinal Drift Compression (Expansion) of Intense Charged Particle Beams
Edward A. Startsev, Ronald C. Davidson
To achieve high focal spot intensities in heavy ion fusion, the ion beam must be compressed longitudinally by factors of ten to one hundred before it is focused onto the target. Th…

Solitary Waves in an Intense Beam Propagating Through a Smooth Focusing Field
Stephan I. Tzenov, Ronald C. Davidson
Based on the Vlasov-Maxwell equations describing the self-consistent nonlinear beam dynamics and collective processes, the evolution of an intense sheet beam propagating through a…
