Abstract
Ion heating and relatively large radial, rf electric fields have been observed in an experiment in which an electron beam modulated near the ion plasma frequency excites the resonances of a partially filled plasma cavity. Predictions based on a theoretical self-consistent model for a finite-length beam-plasma system are in good agreement with the experimental observations.Keywords
