Abstract
The possibility of the existence of shock waves in nonisothermic plasma with Te » Ti, in which isothermal ion sound exists, Te = const, is theoretically studied. It is shown that propagation of only a density perturbation in the form of a nonlinear solitary wave (soliton) is possible in such plasma. Electron and ion charges are separated in the density solitary wave with the formation of a double electric layer with a strong electric field. The field potential shape, amplitude, and front width of the wave are found.
