Super-filament formation of a relativistic Gaussian electron beam in a dense collisional plasma

Energy flux transport of a finite high current relativistic electron beam with the Gaussian profile in both the transverse and axial directions in a dense collisional background plasma is studied by means of three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. Simulation results reveal the development of...
