Nonlinear perturbative particle simulation studies of the electron-proton two-stream instability in high intensity proton beams

Two-stream instabilities in intense charged particle beams, described self-consistently by the nonlinear Vlasov-Maxwell equations, are studied using a 3D multispecies perturbative particle simulation method. The recently developed Beam Equilibrium, Stability and Transport code is used to simulate th...
