Abstract :
A one-dimensional kinetic model based on the Vlasov-Maxwell equations is used to describe nonlinear wave and soliton excitations in coasting charged particle beams. Analytical solutions are obtained for nonlinear traveling wave pulses, and particle-in-cell simulations are presented that describe stability properties and long-time evolution.
