On a ballistic method for double layer regeneration in a Vlasov--Poisson plasma
Description
Double layers generated by a current-driven instability are usually alive for only a short time and destroyed by emitting solitons and other nonlinear waves. It is analytically shown that they can be regenerated in a one-dimensional Vlasov--Poisson plasma system where the upstream velocity distribution is swiftly heated to restore an unstable condition in the downstream region due to ballistic deformation
