Description
The unstable ion acoustic waves resulting from a beam of electrons entering a plasma are considered. A test wave is introduced in the region of unstable waves through the same boundary where the beam enters the plasma. This test wave has an amplitude much larger than the noise. The growth rate of this wave including the effects of electron trapping and collisions is calculated, and it is found that such a test wave will stabilize by electron trapping.
