Kinetic analysis of intense sheet beam stability properties for uniform phase-space density

This paper makes use of the Vlasov-Maxwell equations to investigate collective excitations in an intense sheet beam, infinite in the y and z directions, propagating in the z direction with directed kinetic energy (γ_{b}-1)m_{b}c^{2}. The beam is confined in the x direction by the smooth-focusing for...
