Abstract: The interaction of the two counter-propagating ultrashort laser pulses with a singular wavefronts in the thin slice of the underdense plasma is considered. It is shown that ion-acoustic wave is excited via Brillouin three-wave resonance by corkscrew interference pattern of a paraxial singular laser beams. The orbital angular momentum carried by light is transferred to plasma ion-acoustic vortex. The rotation of the density perturbations of electron fluid is the cause of helical current which produce the kilogauss axial quasi-static magnetic field. The exact analytical configurations are presented for an ion-acoustic current field and magnetic induction. The range of experimentally accessible parameters is evaluated.
