Numerical simulation of proton rings during static compression and trapping

  • 1. Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, D. C. 20375

Description

Results are reported from a numerical-simulations study on the propagation of a rotating proton pulse and the formation and trapping of the resulting strong proton ring. It is observed that the self-magnetic field has a very pronounced effect on the dynamics of such systems, and is responsible for a somersaulting and energy spread of the beam
