Abstract.

Analytical and numerical study of the stability of sheet electron beam in periodically cusped magnetic field (PCM) is made. The beam has been considered as having diffused density profile. The conditions for beam focusing are discussed.

Keywords:  Periodic cusped magnetic field (PCM); sheet electron beam; beam focusing.
