Abstract
Head-on collision between ion acoustic shock waves (IASWs) and the consequences after collision are investigated considering the plasma system to be consisting of relativistic warm ions and nonextensive electrons and positrons, taking into account the effects of nonlinearity and dispersion. Two-sided KdV-Burger equations are derived employing the extended Poincare´-Lighthill-Kuo method. The results reveal that the plasma parameters are responsible for the modification of the structures along with phase shifts of the shock waves. The nonlinearity effects on IASWs in a highly relativistic regime (HRR) become pronounced rather than the weakly relativistic regime (WRR). The phase shifts of IASWs are enhanced by the relativistic streaming factor and superthermality. The electrostatic IASWs become rarefactive depending on temperatures, kinematic viscosity, and superthermality in both WRR and HRR. The amplitudes of IASWs are increasing for WRR but decreasing for HRR due to increasing ion thermal velocities. Besides, the amplitudes of the solitons are detaining due to the increase in the positron concentration for the depopulation of ions.
