Saturation of the electron plasma wave amplitude exited by a spatially localized driver and the electron acceleration are studied by means of numerical simulations. The model consists of the Zakharov equations for the electron plasma and ion acoustic waves coupled to the quasi-linear equation for the electron distribution function. The saturation levels of both electron plasma and ion acoustic ...
