Nonparaxial propagation of an intense relativistic electron beam through dense media
An envelope equation is used to explore the propagation of a focused electron beam through dense conductive media like partially ionized high-pressure gas, metal vapor plumes from beam-target interactions, or low-density solid-phase targets. Envelope equations have been a most useful tool for predic...

| Summary: | An envelope equation is used to explore the propagation of a focused electron beam through dense conductive media like partially ionized high-pressure gas, metal vapor plumes from beam-target interactions, or low-density solid-phase targets. Envelope equations have been a most useful tool for predicting experimental results of beam propagation in gas, and they are refined for the general problem of propagation through a dense medium. The envelope equation is modified to account for the large beam divergence resulting from multiple scattering. The envelope code results are in qualitative agreement with published experimental data. |
