Solitary precursor of large amplitude

Abstract

In this paper the results of investigations of properties of solitary perturbation of large amplitude, propagating with light velocity at small angle to strong magnetic field in plate plasma-filled waveguide, are presented. This solitary perturbation is the hollow of electric potential. The hump of electric potential can be excited as a wake-field by electron bunch, but the hollow of electric potential, considered in this paper, is excited as a precursor of electron bunch. Because this hollow forms the positive spike of electron density, it can be excited as a precursor of laser pulse.
