Dynamics of an Intense Electron Ring in a Modified Betatron Field.

Abstract

The dynamics of an intense electron ring confined in a modified betatron magnetic field is considered. The analysis assumes that the electron ring is located near the center of a conducting torus and includes self fields, induced fields from the walls surrounding the ring and toroidal effects. It has been found that the geometric center of the ring can perform circular motion around the minor axis of the torus. Based on this analysis, a scheme is proposed for the injection of an intense electron beam into a modified betatron accelerator. (Author)
