Kinematic Mechanism of Plasma Electron Hole Transverse Instability
It is shown through multidimensional particle-in-cell simulations that at least in Maxwellian background plasmas the long-wavelength transverse instability of plasma electron holes is caused not by the previously proposed focusing of trapped particles but instead by kinematic jetting of marginally p...
