Self Magnetic Field Effects on Energy Deposition by Intense Relativistic Electron Beams

摘要

The effect of the penetration of the self magnetic field of an intense relativsistic electron beam on the process of beam-target interaction is calculated. The diffusion of the magnetic field and the hydrodynamic expansion of the target are dynamically taken into account. It is found that at beam intensities of interest for pellet fusion considerable range shortening occurs by magnetic stopping. (Atomindex citation 09:364231)
