Abstract

This work shows creation of phase-space holes when an initially perturbed plasma evolves in time, in the absence of external magnetic fields. When such a field is applied to the plasma ab initio, these structures are not created. If such hole structures are created with the magnetic field turned off, the holes are destroyed under the influence of a magnetic field when one is applied to the plasma.
