Plasma Physics 2024-01-17 v1

Abstract

The investigation employed the reductive perturbation approach to study the nonlinear propagation of shear Alfvenic waves in an electron-positron (EP) plasma medium. Utilizing the solitary wave solution of the derivative nonlinear Schrodinger equation, the fundamental properties of EP shear Alfven waves were identified, with a focus on their key features such as speed, amplitude, and width. The analysis revealed the presence of hump-shaped solitary waves. Additionally, comparing the numerical results obtained through the finite difference method and the exact solution demonstrated good agreement between the two. These findings hold significance in comprehending nonlinear electromagnetic wave phenomena in laboratory plasma and space environments where EP plasma is present.
