Two-Dimensional Interaction of Ion-Acoustic Solitons

Two-Dimensional Interaction of Ion-Acoustic Solitons

The two-dimensional nonlinear interaction of two planar ion-acoustic solitons has been studied experimentally. When the angle between the wave vectors of the two interacting solitons is small and the soliton amplitudes approach a critical value, a resonant three-soliton interaction occurs.
