An aperture affects an intense beam in two ways: first, it changes the relative contributions of thermal and space charge effects by changing the ratio of emittance to generalized beam perveance; second, the velocity space is altered depending on the aperture size relative to the beam size and also on the aperture location. It is observed that collimation of an expanding intense electron beam leads to the formation of an internal ring of charge that propagates towards the beam center. The effect depends on the presence of external (linear) focusing, but is independent of the nature of this focusing. Furthermore, the phenomenon is reproduced well in a simple model based on a K-V distribution for the bulk of the beam and special non-laminar orbits near the beam edge. ©2001 American Institute of Physics.
