Resistive hose growth of intense ion beams propagating in air

The growth of the resistive hose instability for intense proton beams is examined using three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. The simulation results are compared with a time-dependent model of resistive hose growth that uses a spread-mass formulation and a time-dependent conductivity model...
