The nonlinear dynamics of the instability of a monochromatic wave excited by a beam in a magnetized plasma is analyed. In the case of an instability involving the anomalous Doppler effect, the beam as a whole is slowed in the longitudinal direction. The stabilization mechanism involves the escape of beam particles from resonance with the wave. The maximum electric field of the excited wave is found, and the dynamics of the beam phase plane is analyzed.
