Authors:   Ronald C. Davidson, W. Wei-li Lee, and Peter Stoltz

<p>
This paper presents a detailed formulation and analysis of the rate equations for statistically-average quantities for an intense nonneutral beam propagating through a periodic solenoidal focusing field. The analysis is based on the nonlinear Vlasov-Maxwell equations in the electrostatic approximation.
