Abstract

When a positively charged beam enters a plasma, plasma electrons are drawn in towardthe beam axis, creating a region of extremely large charge-density with complicated,nonlinear fields. Few analytic solutions exist to describe these fields, and thisnecessitates the use of simulations to model positively charged beam-plasma interactions.In this paper, we study the evolution of a positron beam as an analogous model for theproton driven plasma wakefield experiment proposed by Caldwell.
