Abstract In this paper, we consider the long wavelength limit for the Euler-Poisson system arising in plasma including three species. It is demonstrated that when the plasma has critical densities, the modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation can be derived, under the classical Gardner-Morikawa transform e 1 / 2 ( x − V t ) → x , e 3 / 2 t → t as e → 0 , with the velocity V depending on the densities. We estimate the error between the mKdV equation and the Euler-Poisson system in Sobolev spaces. The mKdV dynamics can be seen at time interval of order O ( e − 1 ) .
