Abstract :
We introduce the semi-Lagrangian Vlasov method, which computes the distribution function of the particles on a grid in phase space, to beam propagation in a uniform focusing channel. With this new tool, we study halo formation in a mismatched thermal beam, and the evolution of an initial semi-Gaussian beam. For the latter problem comparisons are made with the Particle-In-Cell code WARP.
