Nonlinear modulation of ion acoustic waves in a magnetized plasma

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. A; (United States)
;

The quasistatic plasma slow response to coherent ion acoustic waves in a magnetized plasma is considered. A multidimensional cubic nonlinear Schroedinger equation is derived. It is found that the ion acoustic waves remain modulationally stable against oblique perturbations.
