Nonlinear beam-plasma interaction in a two-dimensional geometry was studied via numerical simulations. The generation of Langmuir waves and transverse oscillations of the beam electrons, as well as the formation of cavities of the plasma density, was observed. Correlation between the electric field structure in the stage of electron nonlinearity and the shape of cavities in the late stage of interaction is revealed.
