Trapping: The "Waterfall" of Vlasov-Poisson Dynamics and the Post-Transient Emergence of Drift-Independent Hole Structures in Collisionless Plasmas
Hans Schamel
A key aspect of structure formation in collisionless plasmas is particle trapping or, more precisely, the gap this process leaves in the theoretical description. While the dynamics…

On the linearity and stability of electrostatic structures based on the Schamel equation
Hans Schamel, Efim Pelinovsky, Marcelo V Flamarion
This paper contributes in the first part to the correct understanding of the linear limit in the Schamel equation (S-equation) from the perspective of structure formation in collis…
