Notes:
Two-dimensional propagation and oblique collision of modified Korteweg–de Vries (mKdV) ion-acoustic solitons in a plasma with negative ions have been investigated experimentally. At a critical concentration of negative ions, both compressive and rarefractive mKdV solitons exhibit a resonance interaction at a particular amplitude when the colliding angle is fixed. The amplitude is found to be equal for both compressive and rarefractive solitons. The collided solitons suffer a positive phase shift during the interaction. The new solitons formed during the resonant interaction are found to obey the energy and momentum conservation laws of the mKdV solitons for three-wave interaction. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
