Numerical and Analytical Studies of Beam Channel Tracking

Abstract

The interaction force between a rigidly displaced relativistic electron beam and a performed channel is analyzed. The displacement is not assumed to be small. It is found that two types of equilibria can exist, either on axis with respect to the channel or displaced from the channel by a prescribed amount. The location of the equilibrium depends on the ratio of beams radius to channel radius and the types of channels.
