Radially self-accelerating pulses only posses pseudo-acceleration

The interplay between wave localisation and self-acceleration, makes radially self-accelerating beams to lose their self-accelerating character, in favour of a pseudo self-acceleration, which deforms their transverse intensity distribution. Read more about it in our latest publication:
