The interaction of high intensity laser radiation with an underdense plasma may lead to the formation of electron vortices. Though being quasistationary on the electron timescales, these structures tend to expand on a proton timescale due to Coulomb repulsion of ions. Using a simple analytical model of a stationary vortex as an initial condition, 2D PIC simulations are performed.
