Collisionless ion acoustic shocks in a two component plasma

  • 1. Centre de Recherches en Physique des Plasmas, Lausanne (Switzerland)

Description

The authors show that in the work of white et al (1972), who studied the stationary solutions of the nonlinear fluid equations in a two component plasma, no clear distinction is made between shocks and solitons. They consider the shock structure for the case of cold ions.
