Non-Linear Stability of Magnetically Focused Particle Beams

Abstract

The subject of our project supported by the AFOSR is the dynamics of intense charged beams focused by magnetic fields. There are several applications for this kind system, ranging from microwaves to controlled nuclear fusion. Our group is currently composed by two coordinator faculties (F.B. Rizzato and R. Pakter), two collaborators (Prof. Yan Levin and Dr. Antonio Endler), and several graduate students, some of which having finished their doctoral and master thesis in the field of Beam Physics and Vacuum Electronics during the grant period: Jorge Soares (PhD), Karen Fiuza (PhD), Roger Pizzato (PhD), Wilson Simeoni (Master), Tarcisio Teles (Master) Alexandre Bonatto (Master), Everton Graneman, Luciano Martins. We were mostly interested in the study of relaxation processes and halo formation of high-intensity beams in vacuum tubes. Some of our research effort also contemplates microwave coherence in nonlinear media and wake field electron acceleration.
