Resonant interaction of ion-acoustic solitons in three-dimensions

  • 1. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, The University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa 52242

Description

The two- and three-dimensional collision of spherical ion acoustic solitons is experimentally observed. In each case, a new soliton is created which approximately satisfies the resonance conditions K-bar/sub α/ = Σ/sup n//sub i/ = 1K-bar/sub i/; Ω(K-bar/sub α/) = Σ/sup n//sub i/ = 1 Ω(K-bar/sub i/), n = number of colliding solitons. In three dimensions the soliton is localized along the axis of collision
