Abstract
it is shown that, in an electron-positron plasma with a small fraction of ions, large-amplitude localized spatiotemporal structures (light b ullets) can be readily generated and sustained. These light bullets ar e found to be exceptionally robust: they can emerge from a large varie ty of initial field distributions and are remarkably stable. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
