Phys. Rev. E 69, 066501 (2004) [7 pages]Nonlocal effects in high-energy charged-particle beamsReceived 11 November 2003; published 2 June 2004 Within the framework of the thermal wave model, an investigation is made of the longitudinal dynamics of high-energy charged-particle beams. The model includes the nonlinear self-consistent interaction between the beam and its surroundings in terms of a coupling impedance, and when resistive as well as reactive parts are included, the evolution equation becomes a generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation including a nonlocal nonlinear term. The consequences of the resistive part on the propagation of particle bunches are examined using analytical as well as numerical methods. © 2004 The American Physical Society URL:
