Abstract

The transverse instability of plane Langmuir solitions is reinvestigated with respect to the effects of coupling to electromagnetic fields. The instability is shown to persist and the growth rate is calculated to first order in the transverse wave number. Slow solitons are subject to a new type of instability, which is effective for extremely long-wavelength perturbations.
