Abstract

We analyse high-frequency electrostatic solitary surface waves that propagate along a plasma cylinder in the presence of a constant axial magnetic field. The width of such a solitary wave, which is found to be inversely proportional to its amplitude, is expressed as a function of the magnitude of the external magnetic field.
