Abstract :
Hemispherical solitons are studied experimentally using a double-plasma device provided with a hemispherical dividing screen. Their properties are compared with those of spherical solitons and differ appreciably. Auxiliary pulses appear behind the soliton, each propagating faster than the soliton but eventually approaching the soliton speed
