A theory is derived for the relaxation of a relativistic electron beam interacting with oblique waves in a plasma in a strong magnetic field. As the beam current is raised, the nature of the instability changes: The instability resulting from the excitation of a nonresonant polarization field becomes dominant. A nonlinear theory is derived for the single-mode relaxation of a beam in an unbounded plasma and for steady-state amplification.
