Condensate Formation in Collisionless Plasma

Particle condensates in general magnetic mirror geometries in high-temperature plasmas may be caused by a discrete resonance with thermal ion-acoustic background noise near mirror points. The resonance breaks the bounce symmetry, temporally locking the particles to the resonant wavelength. The relev...
