Scientific paper

The dynamics of Langmuir wave packets were analyzed for a case of beam-plasma interaction where the beam starts from a strongly magnetized plasma region and travels through a medium that is less and less magnetized. It was found that the averaged Lagrangian method and the adiabatic perturbation method derived from the inverse scattering transform give exactly the same results, predicting the stability of the solitons as long as the electron gyrofrequency is greater than the plasma frequency (strong magnetic field), and the soliton instability against transverse self-modulation in the opposite case (weak magnetic field). These methods also make it possible to deduce the self-similar collapsing oblate cavitons in the latter case. A formula giving the power loss of the beam is derived.
