Large amplitude ion‐acoustic waves in a plasma with an electron beam

The nonlinear wave structures of large amplitude ion‐acoustic waves are studied in a plasma with an electron beam, by the pseudopotential method. The region of the existence of large amplitude ion‐acoustic waves is examined, showing that the condition of the existence sensitively depends on the parameters such as the electron beam temperature, the ion temperature, the electrostatic potential, and the concentration of the electron beam density. It turns out that the region of the existence spreads as the beam temperature increases but the effect of the electron beam velocity is relatively small. New findings of large amplitude ion‐acoustic waves in a plasma with an electron beam are predicted.
