Description

Electron-plasma waves driven unstable by an electron beam are observed to be back-scattered by stationary density perturbations to form standing waves. Above a certain threshold these standing waves develop into sharply localized (approx.10lambda/subD/) intense fields, E/sub max/2/4πn0kT/sube/approx. =1. Significant fractions of beam electrons are scattered in velocity space by these stationary spikes of high-frequency field
