Abstract

New dissipative structural equilibria of the Vlasov-Fokker-Planck-Poisson system in a current-carrying plasma with mobile ions are presented. The dynamical evolution towards these final equilibrium states is explored. First consequences for the parallel transport are derived and it is shown that the anomalous resistivity depends on non-symmetric distortions of the electron distribution function in the thermal range which are affected by collisions and ion mobility. The fundamental role of electron holes as the underlying collisionless structure is emphasized.
