Virtual states in strong interactions of plane ion-acoustic solitons

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. A; (United States)
Detailed experimental investigations are performed on the oblique collision of plane ion-acoustic solitons in a double-plasma-type plasma device. Many of the observed phenomena of inelastic collisions of solitons are found to be similar to those of resonance interactions described by nonlinear ion-acoustic waves, and the virtual states produced after the interaction are well defined.
