Abstract
The propagation of intense electromagnetic radiation in an admixture o f unmagnetized electron-positron-ion plasma is investigated analytical ly. It is shown that relativistically intense electromagnetic radiatio n in the presence of heavy ions, in contrast to the case of a pure ele ctron-positron plasma, may be localized with the generation of a humpe d bipolar potential in the plasma. This potential may cause an acceler ation of particles in such a plasma.
