Experimental investigation of quasistationary waves excited by periodic injection of electron bunches into plasma

The interaction between a density-modulated electron beam and plasma has been investigated experimentally. It has been established that, in contrast to the usual beam-plasma systems with continuous injection, the injection of preformed electron bunches satisfying the equilibrium condition into plasma results in the excitation of nonlinear quasistationary waves of constant amplitude and profile (BGK waves). The instability of the stationary waves has been observed experimentally.
