Self-consistent Vlasov-Maxwell description of the longitudinal dynamics of intense charged particle beams

This paper describes a self-consistent kinetic model for the longitudinal dynamics of a long, coasting beam propagating in straight (linear) geometry in the z direction in the smooth-focusing approximation. Starting with the three-dimensional Vlasov-Maxwell equations, and integrating over the phase-...
