Description
Gaussian pulses seem to be very insensitive to dispersion and therefore play an important role in the current debate about superluminal signals. We investigate the propagation of a modulated Gaussian pulse in a lossless electron plasma and show that both the centre frequency and the pulse width change significantly. (author)
