Generation of monochromatic electrostatic waves of large amplitude in a bounded beam-plasma system
Abstract
Monochromatic electrostatic waves of large amplitude were excited by the interaction of an electron beam with a bounded plasma. These waves were identified as resonant beam modes, which are amplified by multiple reflexion in a cavity. Nonlinear effects, such as the generation of harmonies and sidebands, were observed.
