Stable localized electromagnetic pulses in asymmetric pair plasmas
Abstract
It is shown that pair plasmas, through the new focusing-defocusing nonlinearity generated by an ‘asymmetry’ in initial temperatures of constituent species, can support multidimensional, stable, large-amplitude light bullets as well as bullets carrying vortices, i.e. spinning bullets.
