The problem of propagation of an ion-acoustic soliton and its reflection in a weakly inhomogeneous plasma is considered, taking into account the effect of finite ion temperature. A reductive perturbation analysis is carried out to obtain expressions for the local speed, amplitude and width of the soliton. The peak value of the soliton amplitude increases and the soliton width decreases with increasing ion temperature. An equation describing the dependence of the reflected-wave amplitude on ion temperature is obtained. The amplitude of the reflected wave is observed to decrease with increasing ion temperature on account of Landau damping.

Analysis, based on a local kinetic dispersion relation in the tokamak magnetic geometry incorporating the ion transit frequency and trapped electrons, indicates that modes with positive frequencies are predominant. Unstable "drift"-type modes can have frequencies well above the diamagnetic frequency. They have been identified as the destabilized ion acoustic mode suffering little ion Landau damping even when [Formula: see text].

The effect of enhanced Landau damping on the evolution of ion acoustic Peregrine soliton in multicomponent plasma with negative ions has been investigated. The experiment is performed in a multidipole double plasma device. To enhance the ion Landau damping, the temperature of the ions is increased by applying a continuous sinusoidal signal of frequency close to the ion plasma frequency ∼1 MHz to the separation grid. The spatial damping rate of the ion acoustic wave is measured by interferometry. The damping rate of ion acoustic wave increases with the increase in voltage of the applied signal. At a higher damping rate, the Peregrine soliton ceases to show its characteristics leaving behind a continuous envelope.
