  4. It is often stated in the literature that space-charge forces lead to emittance growth. This may be true in present practice, but it need not be true in principle. It can be shown that in the approximation of the Vlasov equation, it is still possible to define a transfer map M, and this map is symplectic.(The Vlasov approximation neglects short-range Coulomb collisions, and is simulated by Particle in Cell codes. In many cases the effect of these short-range collisions is negligible.) It follows that in the Vlasov approximation, Liouville's theorem (in six dimensions) still holds even in the presence of space-charge interactions. (See footnote 5 below.) Thus, often the only objectionable feature of space-charge forces is that they have nonlinear components. Consequently, as we learn to compute and handle nonlinear effects better, it may be possible in some cases to compensate for nonlinear space-charge effects by the use of nonlinear correctors. For a further discussion of space charge from this perspective, see Dragt, A. and R. Ryne, Proc. 1987 IEEE Part. Accel. Conf. 2, p. 1063 (1987).
