The formation of an electron ring in a static magnetic field
Description
The formation of a relativistic electron ring using a static magnetic field is proposed as a means of creating a vehicle which can be used to accelerate positive ions to very high energy. A betatron field and a cusped field, both using a cylindrical hollow beam, are studied and the results of theoretical calculations and numeric integration of equations of motion are described comparing their relative characteristics. A method for radially centering a rotating cylindrical beam, and its use during formation to control the electron ring's radial motion is proposed. The self force of an electron ring and the effects of induced charge in inner and outer conducting walls is calculated, and a variety of numerical techniques is described
