Observation of nonlinear phase shift of electron plasma waves

  • 1. Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria

Description

The nonlinear phase shift which accompanies a large-amplitude electron plasma wave on a collisionless plasma column is demonstrated experimentally. The spatial evolution of the phase shift and the wave-number shift in a position-asymptotic limit are shown to be consistent with recent nonlinear theory.
