Abstract

New steady-state equilibria of two-species, collisionless plasmas have been found for symmetrical systems by varying the total energy subject to Maxwell's equations, momentum moment equations, and adiabatic equations of state, without imposing a quasineutrality condition. Electrons are confined by magnetic forces and ions by internal, electrostatic forces due to charge separation. The scale length for one-dimensional plasmas is characterized by the electron skin depth. Minimum average beta values are approximately one-half. Space and laboratory applications are discussed.
