Approximate kinetic quasiequilibrium distributions for intense beam propagation through a periodic focusing quadrupole lattice

The transverse dynamics of an intense charged particle beam propagating through a periodic quadrupole focusing lattice is described by the nonlinear Vlasov-Maxwell system of equations, where the propagation distances play the role of time. To determine matched-beam quasiequilibrium distribution func...
