Modification of ion-acoustic solitons on interaction with Langmuir waves

Variation of an ion-accoustic soliton under the effect of the Langmuir quasimonochromatic wave has been considered. Parameters of the soliton tail and variation of soliton velocity have been determined. It is shown that the soliton tail consists of two parts: averaged and oscillating. Density oscillations have a forced nature and are related to the modulation of striction force appearing during interference of waves incident and reflected from a soliton. Oscillations appear behind soliton when the wave runs after soliton and in front of soliton when soliton runs after wave
