Abstract :
Summary form only given. Experiments have been performed on the SuperIBEX generator (5 MV, 50-100 kA, 40 ns FWHM (full width at half maximum) pulse) at the US Naval Research Laboratory on quieting the initial radial motion of a relativistic electron beam (REB) and controlling the time-dependent parameters of the beam in order to optimize propagation of the beam in full-density air. An effort was made to modify the beam parameters and their effect on beam propagation in full-density air
