We study the screening of a bounded body $Gamma$ against the effect of a wind of charged particles, by means of a shield produced by a magnetic field which becomes infinite on the border of $Gamma$.

Abstract
We study the screening of a bounded body $Gamma$ against the effect of a wind of charged particles, by means of a shield produced by a magnetic field which becomes infinite on the border of $Gamma$. The charged wind is modeled by a Vlasov-Poisson plasma, the bounded body by a torus, and the external magnetic field is taken close to the border of $Gamma$. We study two models: a plasma composed by different species with positive or negative charges, and finite total mass of each species, and another made of many species of the same sign, each having infinite mass. We investigate the time evolution of both systems, showing in particular that the plasma particles cannot reach the body. Finally we discuss possible extensions to more general initial data. We show also that when the magnetic lines are straight lines, (that imposes an unbounded body), the previous results can be improved.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
