Relaxation to universal non-Maxwellian equilibria in a collisionless plasma
Robert J. Ewart, Michael L. Nastac, Pablo J. Bilbao +3
Generic equilibria are derived for turbulent relaxing plasmas via an entropy-maximization procedure that accounts for the short-time conservation of certain collisionless invariant…

Weibel instability beyond bi-Maxwellian anisotropy
Thales Silva, Bedros Afeyan, Luis O. Silva
The shape of the anisotropic velocity distribution function, beyond the realm of strict Maxwellians can play a significant role in determining the evolution of the Weibel instabili…
