Dx. Wang et al., LONGITUDINAL EXPANSION AND COMPRESSION OF ELECTRON BUNCHES WITH RECTANGULAR LINE CHARGE PROFILES, Nuovo cimento della Società Italiana di Fisica. A. Nuclei, particles and fields, 106(11), 1993, pp. 1739-1743
The longitudinal expansion and compression of a space-charge-dominated
rectangular electron bunch have been investigated at the University o
f Maryland Electron Beam Transport Facility. In this paper we report t
he experimental results and comparison with theoretical prediction and
1D PIC simulations.
