Excitation and suppression of zero-frequency cyclotron waves on a relativistic electron beam in a parameter regime appropriate to autoresonant collective ion acceleration are examined through numerical simulation. The excitation mechanism considered is that of anode shorting, while suppression is achieved through a combination of nonadiabatic change in the guide magnetic field and the introduction of a finite radial velocity divergence in the beam. Some brief remarks are included concerning the effect of a scattered beam distribution.
