Scientific paper

The present analysis of large-amplitude wave propagation along an external constant magnetic field in a cold electron-ion plasma shows that even waves of fairly small amplitude can induce particle velocities comparable to the velocity of light. Within this ultrarelativistic limit, it is shown that two completely new types of circularly polarized waves may appear and that under certain conditions modulational instabilities may occur. The possibility of fitting the amplitudes and wavelengths of such waves to pulsar data is examined.
