Résumé : Long-range interactions are known to induce unusual features in physical systems. An example is given by a non-neutral plasmas. Here, we present a kinetic study of the non-neutral plasma trapped in a confining potential. This system interacts through the unscreened 1 over r Coulombian potential. The use of a Vlasov solver allows us to compute the evolution of the probability density function. The resolution is studied in phase space and the stability of quasi-stationary states is discussed.
