Abstract

Existence of both compressive and rarefactive solitons are found to exists in a magnetized plasma model consisting of ions, electrons and positive ion beams using the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. Both fast and slow modes are found to exist due to the presence of ion temperature in the plasma. Moreover, the amplitude of the soliton decreases with an increase in temperature for Q′ (\(= \frac{m_{b}}{m_{i}}\), beam-ion mass to warm-ion mass ratio) >2 and the amplitude becomes maximum when the wave propagates parallel with the direction of the magnetic field. The investigation further revealed that though both compressive and rarefactive solitons exist for slow mode, only compressive soliton exist for the fast mode.
