abstract:
With particle-in-cell simulations we show that electromagnetic relativistically strong solitons, formed
in the wake of the laser pulse during the interaction of a high-intensity ultrashort laser pulse with a
collisionless plasma, evolve asymptotically into postsolitons. A postsoliton is a slowly expanding cavity
in the ion and electron densities which traps electromagnetic energy. Fast ions are accelerated during
the postsoliton formation. Postsolitons are elementary components of the relativistic electromagnetic
turbulence in laser-irradiated plasmas.
