Numerical simulation of the pinching of partially neutralized relativistic electron beams

The compression of relativistic electron beams resulting from partial space charge neutralization by thermal ions is simulated to obtain self-consistent solutions. The numerical modeling is based on a finite difference approach, using under-relaxation to assure convergence in solving this nonlinear...
