Grad-B Drift of an Electron Beam in the High Current Betatron.

Abstract

The equation of motion of the center of mass coordinates for an electron beam in the high current betatron is investigated. For a small betatron field, it is shown that even for a stable single particle orbit of beam electrons, the grad-B drift velocity of the center of mass coordinates can be fractional percents of the speed of light, thereby presenting a serious difficulty in future experiments.
