摘要：

The maximum possible current has been calculated in a relativistic electron beam-plasma equilibrium. The self-consistent analysis reads I-max < (m(0) c(3)/e)beta(b)gamma(b), where gamma(b) = (1 - beta(b)(2))(-1/2) for the charge-neutralized relativistic beam having a large radius compared with the beam thermal Debye length. The special case found in the literature is reproduced [H. Alfven, Phys. Rev 55, 425 (1939)]. The present work is essential for relativistic electron transport in fast ignition of targets for laser fusion. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. [S1070-664X(00)02305-3].
