Abstract
The physics of space-charge waves in space-charge dominated beams is presented. This includes the generation and propagation of such waves in coasting beams, and the end effect on space-charge waves in bunched beams. It is shown for the first time in experiments that a single space-charge wave can be generated, that the geometry factor g can be measured with localized space-charge waves, and that both reflection and transmission take place at the ends of an initially rectangular bunch. The experimental results are supported by theoretical analyses. The application of localized space-charge waves as a new technique for beam diagnostics is also described.
