Abstract
High beam current can be achieved by longitudinally compressing bunched beams. The objective of drift compression is to compress a long beam bunch by imposing an initial longitudinal velocity distribution over the length of the beam in the beam frame. The longitudinal dynamics of drift compression and pulse shaping for high intensity particle beams are studied using a one-dimensional warm-fluid model. Two self-similar drift compression solutions admitted by the one-dimensional warm-fluid equations are derived. The pulse shaping problem is also solved such that an arbitrary input pulse shape can be shaped into the pulse shapes required by the self-similar drift compression solutions.
