Kinetic description of neutralized drift compression and transverse focusing of intense ion charge bunches

A kinetic model based on the Vlasov equation is used to describe the axial drift compression and transverse focusing of an intense ion charge bunch propagating along the axis of a solenoidal focusing field B^{sol}(x). The space charge and current of the ion charge bunch are assumed to be completely...
