A theory of transverse instability of a bunch in a rectangular potential well is developed. A series of equations adequately describing the instability is derived and solved both analytically and numerically. The dependence of the instability growth rate and threshold on bunch factor is investigated for various beam coupling impedances. The theory is applied to the Fermilab recycler ring.
