Theoretical Scheme for Axial Compression of a Relativistic Electron Beam
Abstract
Bunching the density of a relativistic electron beam via the ∇B drift is analyzed for a beam propagating in a 1r azimuthal magnetic field produced by a current driven in a wire. Substantial enhancement of the beam current is predicted.
