The role of undirected relativistic electrons with inertia in the formation of weakly relativistic ion acoustic solitons in magnetized plasma

Abstract

Existence of both subsonic and supersonic compressive solitons of interesting characters is established in this magnetized plasma model with non relativistic ions and relativistic electrons. The small supersonic range for the generation of compressive solitons is shown to confine near the vicinity of the direction of the magnetic field. It is predicted that the relativistic variation of electron’s mass is responsible for the expansion of Sagdeev potential to result increase in soliton’s amplitude and decrease in its width.
