Perpendicular nonlinear waves in an electron–positron–ion plasma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Waves propagating perpendicular to a magnetic field in a plasma consisting of electrons, positrons, and ions are studied theoretically and numerically. In a three component plasma, there appears a frequency domain in which the magnetosonic waves cannot propagate; thus, we have two separate modes below the electron cyclotron frequency. Their dispersion relations are discussed. Then, Korteweg–de Vries equations are derived for these modes. A solitary wave of the low-frequency mode has a soliton width 1 – 10 times as large as the electron skin depth and has an electric potential 1 – 10 times as large as that in an electron–ion plasma; both of them increase with decreasing ion density. A solitary wave of the high-frequency mode has a soliton width of the order of the electron skin depth and has negligibly small electric potential. Three-fluid simulations show that the low-frequency mode solitary pulse can emit high-frequency mode solitons, if the amplitude of the original pulse is large and the ion density is low. © 2002 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1474425#

In this paper, we first study the conditions for the existence of the solitonic solutions in ion-electron-positron plasma. Then we investigate the effect of increasing positron on the solitonic wave properties, We also consider the time evolution of these waves in passing through the boundaries of two plasma with different positron densities and different positron-electron temperature ratios.

Abstract—Propagation of arbitrary amplitude nonlinear Alfven waves has been investigated in low but finite β electron-positron-ion plasma including full ion dynamics. Using Sagdeev pseudopotential method an energy integral equation has been derived. The Sagdeev potential has been calculated for different plasma parameters and it has been shown that inclusion of ion parallel motion along the mag...

In this paper, stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) and electron heating in laser plasma propagating along the plasma fusion is investigated by particle-in cell simulation. Applying an external magnetic field to plasma, production of whistler waves and electron heating associated with whistler waves in the direction perpendicular to external magnetic field was observed in this simulation. The pla...
