Scientific paper

A finite-amplitude plane-polarised Alfvén wave is shown to
undergo a modulational instability consequent to its trapping in density
cavities which are created by the ponderomotive force associated with
the Alfvén wave. The instability arises when the density cavity
travels at subsonic speeds.
