In this paper, a 3-D nonlinear perturbative particle simulation code (BEST) [H. Qin, R.C. Davidson, and W.W. Lee, Physical Review Special Topics on Accelerators and Beams <b>3</b> (2000) 084401] is used to systematically study the stability properties of intense nonneutral charged particle beams with large temperature anisotropy (T<font face ="symbol"><sub>^</sub></font face = "symbol"><sub>b </sub> >> T<font face ="symbol"><sub>||</sub></font face = "symbol"><sub>b</sub>). The most unstable modes are identified, and their eigenfrequencies, radial mode structure, and nonlinear dynamics are determined for axisymmetric perturbations.
