Experimental study of large-amplitude perturbations in space-charge dominated beams

Detailed experimental measurements are presented concerning the propagation of space-charge waves of varying amplitudes in an intense, charged-particle beam. A short perturbation to the density profile is applied at the electron gun, and both current and mean energy profiles are measured at two loca...
