Abstract

The head-on collision between two cylindrical/spherical ion acoustic solitary waves (IASWs) in un-magnetized plasmas comprising inertial ions and q-non-extensive electrons and positrons is investigated using the extended version of the Poincaré–Lighthill–Kuo perturbation method. How the interactions are taking place in cylindrical and spherical geometry are studied, and the collision is shown at different times. The non-planar geometry can modify analytical phase shifts following the head-on collision are derived. The effects of q-non-extensive electrons and positrons on the phase shift are studied. It is shown that the properties of the interaction of IASWs in cylindrical and spherical geometry are very different.
