Abstract :
We studied bounded thermal equilibrium of Vlasov-Maxwell in space charge dominated beams. These metaequilibrium, which have a life time smaller than the short-range collision time and are in the region of the transit time in a linac, can be used efficiently to avoid or to control the halo generation. Therefore, it is fundamental to understand their inner structure, and to analyze the basic mechanisms which can drive the beams to such equilibrium, or explain the way some known processes can contribute to their destruction
