We demonstrate that a dark soliton is a stable nonlinear coherent mode in electron-positron plasmas. The dark soliton comprises the minimum of the electromagnetic energy density and the minimum of the plasma density. Contrary to a bright soliton, the dark soliton can advect the trapped charged particles. The energy of trapped particles is well above the kinetic energy of the particles in the background plasma.

Abstract

We demonstrate that a dark soliton is a stable nonlinear coherent mode in electron-positron plasmas. The dark soliton comprises the minimum of the electromagnetic energy density and the minimum of the plasma density. Contrary to a bright soliton, the dark soliton can advect the trapped charged particles. The energy of trapped particles is well above the kinetic energy of the particles in the background plasma.
