Abstract
A three-dimensional multispecies nonlinear δf particle simulation method was developed to study collective processes in intense charged particle beams. The noise level in nonlinear perturbative particle simulations was significantly reduced. The simulation results indicated that the dominant two-stream instability consists of a dipole-mode structure which can be stabilized by a modest axial momentum spread of the beam particles.
