Abstract

In calculating high-current relativistic beams of charged particles moving in electromagnetic fields, it is necessary to take account of the effect of the electric and magnetic self-fields products by the beams themselves. This effect has been modeled on a computer [1, 2]. The present paper describes numerical algorithms contained in the KSI-BÉSM compiling system [3] which permit the inclusion of a broad class of relativistic problems, taking account of the magnetic field of currents flowing in the metal parts of the device being calculated, and also problems with virtual cathodes.
