Abstract
The reflection of nonlinear solitary waves is studied in a plasma under the effect of an external magnetic field and constant ionization along with finite ion temper- ature. To investigate the reflection of solitary waves, rele- vant modified Korteweg-deVries equations for the right and left going waves are derived, and coupled at the point of reflection for obtaining the expression of reflection coefficient. The solitary waves are found to shift after their reflection. Variation of reflection coefficient and shift are studied for different plasma parameters like ion tempera- ture, ionization rate and wave propagation angle or the obliqueness of magnetic field.
Highlights
A solitary wave is defined as a quantum of energy or quasiparticles that can propagate as a traveling wave in nonlinear systems and is neither preceded nor followed by another such disturbance
