Space charge dynamics of bright electron beams

The longitudinal dynamics and its coupling with the transverse dynamics of bunched beams with strong space charge are analyzed. We introduce a self-consistent Vlasov description for the longitudinal phase space similar to the familiar description for the transverse phase space using a Kapchinskij-Vl...
