Description

A density cavity at the upper-hybrid resonance layer has been observed in the saturated stage of the trapped electrostatic field when a high-power microwave of the extraordinary mode is injected into an afterglow plasma column in a uniform magnetic field. The results can be explained by the modulational instability at the upper-hybrid frequency and the formation of an upper-hybrid soliton
