Scientific paper

A systematic kinetic-theory treatment of the interaction of electrons and ions with intense high-frequency localized electrostatic fields is formulated. A generalization of the familiar nonlinear Schroedinger equation includes nonlinear Landau-damping effects which prevent soliton collapse. An analytic calculation predicts a heated-electron distribution behaving asymptotically and modulated in the region near the localized field to form streamers in phase space.
