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 formed by Prof. F.B. Rizzato, Prof. R. Pakter, and Prof. Y. Levin, alongside with close collaborators Prof. Ant nio Endler and Prof. Roger Nunes. Several graduate students are also involved with our research projects. We were mostly interested in the study of relaxation processes and halo formation of nonuniform relativistic high-intensity beams propagating in vacuum tubes. Some of our research effort also contemplates microwave coherence in nonlinear media and wake field electron acceleration.
