A steady-state analytic model of beam erosion is presented and compared with two-dimensional hybrid particle-in-cell simulations of 100 MeV to 2 GeV proton beams propagating in a dense background gas. The analytic model accounts for nonzero beam erosion front velocities and the finite energies of beam particles radially exiting the beam through a single parameter. The model is in agreement with the simulation results for a single value of this parameter over the beam energy ranges considered. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.
