The solitary hydromagnetic wave revisited: A demonstration of the force in a collisionless plasma

An early paper on a solitary wave in a collision-free plasma, namely, a hydromagnetic wave propagating at right angles to a magnetic field, is further examined. The trajectories of both ions and electrons have been calculated for different wave velocities, up to the limiting value of twice the Alfvé...
