Large Amplitude Shock Waves Having Negative Potential Well in a Plasma with Negative Ions
Abstract
This paper is concerned with existence conditions for large amplitude shock waves in a plasma with negative ions. It is shown that the large amplitude shock waves with negative potential well in front can exist in the plasma, if there are electron or negative ion beams behind the shock.
