Description

A method for constructing one-dimensional Vlasov equilibria from assumed macroscopic moments is described and examples are given. General properties of these equilibria, in particular, the fact that temperature anisotropy in the two directions perpendicular to the magnetic field is required, are discussed. Results of particle simulations which verify the validity of these equilibria and illustrate the effects of temperature anisotropy are presented
