Description

Formation and propagation of cylindrical ion-acoustic solitons are observed precisely. The character of the soliton is confirmed to follow the predictions based on the Korteweg-de Vries or a modified Boussinesq equation with respect to the velocity and the amplitude dependence on the radial position but not the width.
