Abstract:
Double layers generated by a current-driven instability are usually alive short time and destroyed by emitting solitons and other nonlinear waves. It is analytically shown that they can be regenerated in one-dimensional Vlasov-Poisson plasma system where the upstream velocity distribution is swiftly heated to restore an unstable condition in the downstream region due to ballistic deformation.
