Abstract
A theoretical investigation is carried out for understanding the properties of electron-acoustic solitary waves (EASWs) in a beam plasma whose constituents are a cold beam electron fluid, hot nonextensive electrons obeying a vortex-like distribution with nonextensive factor q, and stationary ions. An energy integral (Schamel KdV) equation is derived by employing pseudo-potential (reductive perturbation) approach. The presence of nonextensive q-distributed hot trapped electrons and cold electron beam has been shown to influence the soliton structure quite significantly. The nonlinear dispersion relation is derived to analyze the dependency of the electron acoustic solitary wave quantities. From the analysis of our results, it is shown that the present plasma model supports the compressive EASWs. As the real plasma situations are observed with plasma species having a relative flow, so our present analysis should be useful for understanding the electrostatic solitary structures observed in the dayside auroral zone and other regions of the magnetosphere.
