Here we show that cross-beam energy transfer (CBET) saturates through a resonance detuning that depends on the IAW phase velocity and that results from trapping-induced modifications to the ion distribution functions. For smaller phase velocities, the modifications to the distribution functions can rapidly thermalize in the presence of mid-Z ions, leading to a blueshift in the resonant frequency. For larger velocities, the modifications can persist, leading to a redshift in the resonant frequency.
