Abstract
The problem of the neutralization of one-dimensional ion beams moving through a source of cold electrons into free space has been studied with the use of a computer simulation of the electron dynamics. The results indicate that neutralized high-intensity beams of ions appropriate for inertial-confinement fusion may be able to propagate to a focus through vacuum with negligible limits imposed by the electron pressure.
