Abstract

Effects induced by the propagation of electrostatic perturbations in a low-density collisionless argon plasma are reported. A space-time-velocity resolved laser-induced fluorescence diagnostic shows clearly that the plasma reacts to a steep density perturbation by the formation of self-organized coherent ion structures.
