The structure of the collisionless transient pinch
The mechanism of the transient pinch at low densities, outlined in an early paper by Rosenbluth, has been studied in detail. The collapse velocity is comparable to the Alfvén velocity although the theory of magnetohydrodynamics is not applicable to collision-free plasmas. The thickness of the surfac...
