A self‐consistent theory of phase‐space granulations, called ’’clumps’’, has been derived. These fluctuations are produced when regions of different phase‐space density are mixed by the fluctuating electric fields. The source term and turbulent scattering operator for these fluctuations are obtained through a renormalization of the one‐ and two‐point equations for a Vlasov plasma. The proper treatment of the singular behavior exhibited by the two‐point equation, coupled with the self‐consistent approach leads to a number of significant changes compared with previous formulations. The case of electrostatic turbulence is considered throughout this paper. The method of solution is based on the concept of two disparate time scales which allow the treatment of the equal time two‐point equation as an initial condition for its two‐time counterpart. The picture of a ’’test’’ clump emerges quite naturally within such a framework. The source term for the clump correlation function is identified and certain intrinsi...
