Nonlinear electrostatic waves in a magnetized plasma

Phys Rev E Stat Phys Plasmas Fluids Relat Interdiscip Topics. 1999 Sep;60(3):3249-52. doi: 10.1103/physreve.60.3249.

Abstract

The modulational interaction of finite-amplitude high-frequency electrostatic waves propagating at an arbitrary angle to an external magnetic field with slow plasma motion is considered. A set of nonlinear evolution equations describing the interaction is obtained. New types of solitary waves propagating at near sonic speeds are found.
