Abstract
A new theoretical model of emittance growth in nonsta- tionary charged particle beams has been developed which generalizes the previous theory of nonuniform charge dis- t,ributions to include rms mismatched and off-centered beams. First the behavior of mismatched uniform beams in linear focusing channels, where no emit,tance growth oc- curs, is discussed. Then the results of the new theory are presented and compared with numerical simulation studies for rms mismatched, nonuniform beams.
