  2. Solution by Characteristics More subtle: a solution to the full Vlasov equation may be obtained from the distribution function at some the initial condition, provided the particle orbits may be found unambiguously from the initial conditions throughout phase space. Example: 1-D harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian.

  3. Breathing Mode x' x' x' x' x x x Quarter Oscillation x x' x The particle envelope “breaths” at twice the revolution frequency!

  4. Sacherer Theory Assume beam is acted on by a linear focusing force plus additional linear or non-linear forces

  5. rms Emittance Conserved For linear forces derivative vanishes and rms emittance conserved. Emittance growth implies non-linear forces.

  6. Space Charge and Collective Effects • Collective Effects • Brillouin Flow • Self-consistent Field • KV Equation • Bennet Pinch • Landau Damping

  7. Simple Problem • How to account for interactions between particles • Approach 1: Coulomb sums • Use Coulomb’s Law to calculate the interaction between each particle in beam • Unfavorable N2 in calculation but perhaps most realistic • more and more realistic as computers get better • Approach 2: Calculate EM field using ME • Need procedure to define charge and current densities • Track particles in resulting field

  8. Uniform Beam Example • Assume beam density is uniform and axi-symmetric going into magnetic field

  9. Brillouin Flow

  10. Comments • Some authors, Reiser in particular, define a relativistic plasma frequency • Lawson’s book has a nice discussion about why it is impossible to establish a relativistic Brillouin flow in a device where beam is extracted from a single cathode at an equipotential surface. In this case one needs to have either sheering of the rotation or non-uniform density in the self-consistent solution.

  11. Vlasov-Poisson System • Self-consistent Field

  12. K-V Distribution • Single value for the transverse Hamiltonian

  13. K-V Envelope Equation

  14. Waterbag Distribution • Lemons and Thode were first to point out SC field is solved as Bessel Functions for a certain equation of state. Later, others, including my advisor and I showed the equation of state was exact for the waterbag distribution.
