Abstract: The core-halo approach of Levin et al. [Phys. Rep. {�f 535}, 1 (2014)] for the violent relaxation of long-range interacting systems with a waterbag initial conditions is revisited for the case of the Hamiltonian Mean Field model. The Gibbs entropy maximization principle is considered with the constraints of energy conservation and of infinite Casimir invariants of the Vlasov equation. All parameters in the core-halo distribution function are then completely determined without resorting to the envelope equation for the contour of the initial state, which was required in the original approach. We also show that a different ansatz is possible for the core-halo distribution with similar or even better results. This work also evidences a link between a parametric resonance causing the non-equilibrium phase transition in the HMF model, a purely dynamical property, and a discontinuity of the (non-equilibrium) entropy of the system.
