what would be the poyinting vector of beam of charged particles moving in +ve x-direction.
S=ExH
calculating H is fine but how to calculate the E

The poynting vector is a property of the electromagnetic field, it is not a property of particles.
If you have a continuous beam you get the same electric field as from a charged wire: radially outwards.
