关于一维无力Vlasov-Maxwell平衡的几点注记

Some remarks on one-dimensional force-free Vlasov-Maxwell equilibria

Michael G. Harrison, Thomas Neukirch

摘要:

利用一维Vlasov-Maxwell(VM)平衡问题的一般性质,研究了无力非相对论不变VM平衡的存在条件.如前所述,一维VM平衡方程等价于守恒赝势中的赝粒子运动,其中赝势与等离子体压力张量的对角分量之一成比例。这里的基本方程是以与以前工作不同的方式推导出来的。基于这个理论框架,赝势(等离子体压力)的必要条件,以允许力自由的一维VM平衡制定。结果表明,线性力免费的一维VM解决方案,这是迄今为止唯一的力免费的一维VM解决方案,对应的情况下,赝势是一个有吸引力的中心潜力。本文讨论了导致中心赝势的一类分布函数。

英文摘要:

The conditions for the existence of force-free non-relativistic translationally invariant one-dimensional (1D) Vlasov-Maxwell (VM) equilibria are investigated using general properties of the 1D VM equilibrium problem. As has been shown before, the 1D VM equilibrium equations are equivalent to the motion of a pseudo-particle in a conservative pseudo-potential, with the pseudo-potential being proportional to one of the diagonal components of the plasma pressure tensor. The basic equations are here derived in a different way to previous work. Based on this theoretical framework, a necessary condition on the pseudo-potential (plasma pressure) to allow for force-free 1D VM equilibria is formulated. It is shown that linear force-free 1D VM solutions, which so far are the only force-free 1D VM solutions known, correspond to the case where the pseudo-potential is an attractive central potential. A general class of distribution functions leading to central pseudo-potentials is discussed.
