Oblate electron holes are not attributable to anisotropic shielding

The influence of shielding mechanisms on the ratio of perpendicular to parallel scale lengths of multidimensional plasma electron hole equilibria is analyzed theoretically and computationally. It is shown that the "gyrokinetic"model, invoking perpendicular polarization, is based on a misun...
