Effects of electron collisions on the resistive hose instability in intense charged particle beams propagating through background plasma

The dispersion relation for the resistive hose instability in a charged particle beam with a flattop density profile is derived from the linearized Vlasov-Maxwell equations. Stability properties of the resistive hose instability where the perturbations are initiated at the beam entrance are investig...
