Mutual collisions between ion-acoustic (IA) solitary waves are studied based on a fully kinetic simulation approach. Two cases, small and large relative velocity, are studied and the effect of trapped electron population on the collision process are focused upon. It is shown that, for the case of small relative velocity, the repelling force between the trapped populations of electrons results in scattering of electron holes. However, this phenomenon can not be witnessed if the relative velocity is considerably high, since the impact of trapped population stays very weak.

A self-consistent relativistic two-fluid model is proposed for one-dimensional electron-ion plasma dynamics. A multiple scales perturbation technique is employed, leading to an evolution equation for the wave envelope, in the form of a nonlinear Schr odinger type equation (NLSE). The inclusion of relativistic effects is shown to introduce density-dependent factors, not present in the non-relativistic case - in the conditions for modulational instability. The role of relativistic effects on the linear dispersion laws and on envelope soliton solutions of the NLSE is discussed.
Low frequency dust acoustic waves (DAW) were excited in a laboratory argon dusty plasma by modulating the discharge voltage with a low frequency AC signal. Metallic graphite particles were used as dust grains and a digital FFT technique was used to o btain dispersion characteristics. The experimental dispersion relation shows the reduction of phase velocity and a regime where $partial omega/partial k < 0$. A comparison is made with existing theoretical model.
Excitation of nonlinear ion acoustic wave (IAW) by an external electric field is demonstrated by Vlasov simulation. The frequency calculated by the dispersion relation with no damping is verified much closer to the resonance frequency of the small-am plitude nonlinear IAW than that calculated by the linear dispersion relation. When the wave number $ klambda_{De} $ increases, the linear Landau damping of the fast mode (its phase velocity is greater than any ions thermal velocity) increases obviously in the region of $ T_i/T_e < 0.2 $ in which the fast mode is weakly damped mode. As a result, the deviation between the frequency calculated by the linear dispersion relation and that by the dispersion relation with no damping becomes larger with $klambda_{De}$ increasing. When $klambda_{De}$ is not large, such as $klambda_{De}=0.1, 0.3, 0.5$, the nonlinear IAW can be excited by the driver with the linear frequency of the modes. However, when $klambda_{De}$ is large, such as $klambda_{De}=0.7$, the linear frequency can not be applied to exciting the nonlinear IAW, while the frequency calculated by the dispersion relation with no damping can be applied to exciting the nonlinear IAW.
The multi-species plasma of natural or laboratory origin is often considered to host nonlinear ion-acoustic waves. We present calculations of ion fluxes induced by nonlinear ion-acoustic waves in a plasma consisting of multiple ion populations, elect rons, and dust. The following plasma models are considered: an electron-ion plasma with cold ions, a bi-ion plasma with two types of warm positively charged ions, and a dusty bi-ion plasma. It is found that in the electron-ion plasma, the wave-induced ion flux is directed oppositely to the phase speed of the nonlinear ion-acoustic wave. In the bi-ion plasma, there are two modes of ion-acoustic waves which are fast and slow waves. In the nonlinear fast ion-acoustic wave, the fluxes of both types of ions are found to be co-directed and drift against the wave. In a slow wave, the nonlinear fluxes of ions are directed in opposite directions. This result demonstrates the possibility to use these nonlinear wave-induced ion fluxes for effective separation of ions in the plasma. In a dusty bi-ion plasma, the ion separation process can be intensified by a super-nonlinear regime of slow ion-acoustic waves.
The measurement of the axially lost electron energy distribution escaping from a minimum-B electron cyclotron resonance ion source in the range of 4-800 keV is reported. The experiments have revealed the existence of a hump at 150-300 keV energy, con taining up to 15% of the lost electrons and carrying up to 30% of the measured energy losses. The mean energy of the hump is independent of the microwave power, frequency and neutral gas pressure but increases with the magnetic field strength, most importantly with the value of the minimum-B field. Experiments in pulsed operation mode have indicated the presence of the hump only when microwave power is applied, confirming that the origin of the hump is rf-induced momentum space diffusion. Possible mechanism of the hump formation is considered basing on the quasi-linear model of plasma-wave interaction.
