Effect of External Longitudinal Electric Field on Tracking Force upon the Interaction of a Relativistic Electron Beam with the Ion Channel in the Ion Focusing Regime

Abstract

It has been shown that, in the presence of a longitudinal external electric field, the magnitude of the tracking or detracking force that emerges during the acceleration or deceleration of a beam propagating along a preliminarily created ion channel in the ion-focusing regime can be commensurate with the force of the interaction of a relativistic electron beam with the ion plasma channel.
