Two-Dimensional Fluid Simulation of Relativistic Electron Beam-High Z Target Interactions.

Abstract

A two-dimensional r-z fluid code has been developed to study the interaction between a relativistic electron beam and an anode plasma. A self-consistent treatment of the electromagnetic fields has been included. Radial pinching of the beam is observed when its self-field resistively diffuses into the plasma. (Author)
