Show affiliationsThe hole theory (Schamel H 1997 Phys. Rev. Lett. 79 2811) of longitudinal solitary structures superimposed on coasting beams, as has been seen recently in experiments, is evaluated in the zero-resistance limit to get new insight into the (de)focusing properties of wall impedances. It is found that the standard picture on (de)focusing, according to which a space-charge-dominated impedance is defocusing if the beam is below transition energy, as an example, does not always hold. Namely, this property (and picture), which can already be obtained by a simple waterbag model, remains true only when
, where
is the wall inductance per unit length and
is given by
. For
, however, just the opposite (de)focusing property holds. Responsible for this new feature for coasting beams are wake-fields which are taken into account in a next-order self-consistent perturbation theory. It is argued, furthermore, why for bunched beams a similar result might also be expected.
