Abstract

Propagation characteristics of KP solitons in a plasma with finite temperature ions drifting relativistically are investigated. With relativistically drifting ions the electron inertia is important and therefore the finite electron mass is included in the fluid equations instead of the usual Boltzmann distribution for obtaining the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation. Effect of the electron inertia and finite ion temperature is analyzed on the soliton characteristics.
