Abstract

A relativistic collisionless electron beam is described through moments on the Vlasov equation. The closure is obtained both in the case of local thermodynamical equilibrium and for a warm plasma. Radial steady solutions are studied in the two closure approaches and compared: In particular, the generalization of the Bennett pinch solution is found in the warm closure.
