Periodic magnetic focusing of sheet electron beams

Booske, J.; Basten, M.; Kumbasar, A.; Antonsen, T.; Bidwell, S.; Carmel, Y.; Destler, William; Granatstein, V.; Radack, D. (American Institute of Physics, 1994-05)

Sheet electron beams focused by periodically cusped magnetic (PCM ) fields are stable against low-frequency velocity-shear instabilities (such as the diocotron mode). This is in contrast to the more familiar unstable ...

Experimental and numerical studies of sheet electron beam propagation through a planar wiggler magnet

Zhang, Ze-Xiang; Granatstein, Victor; Destler, William; Bidwell, Steven; Rodgers, J.; Cheng, S.; Antonsen, T.; Levush, B.; Radack, D. (IEEE, 1993-12)

Detailed experimental studies on sheet relativistic electron beam propagation through a long planar wiggler are reported and compared with numerical simulations. The planar wiggler has 56 periods with a period of 9.6 ...
