Resonant interaction of ion-acoustic solitons in three-dimensions revisited

Description

Using a launching structure consisting of four large diameter hemispherical grids located at the corners of a square, it is observed that the amplitude of a resonantly produced soliton is greater than ten times the value of an individual soliton. This observation extends to three dimensions Kaup's conjecture that the two-dimensional resonance-soliton creation requires a finite interaction tune
