Scientific paper

The properties of in phase-space vortices are reviewed with particular attention to their role in the formation of small amplitude double-layers in current-carrying plasmas. In a one-dimensional analysis, many such double-layers simply add up to produce a large voltage drop. A laboratory experiment is carried out in order to investigate the properties of ion phase-space vortices in three dimensions. Their lifetime is significantly reduced as compared with similar results from one-dimensional numerical simulations of the problem.
