Abstract
A theoretical model is presented for the collective magnetic focusing of an intense ion beam which has been neutralized by a gas of warm electrons. This extends earlier work in which it was assumed that the electrons were cold and comoving. The field necessary to guide the beam at constant radius is found.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
