The excitation of electrostatic ion-cyclotron (EIC) waves is studied in a single-ended Q machine in a two-ion-component plasma (Cs/sup +/ and K/sup +/). Over a large range of relative concentrations of Cs/sup +/ and K/sup +/ ions, two modes are excited with frequencies ..omega../sub 1/ greater than or equal to ..cap omega../sub Cs/sup +// and ..omega../sub 2/ greater than or equal to ..cap omega../sub K/sup +//, where the ..cap omega..'s are the respective cyclotron frequencies. The results are discussed in terms of a fluid theory of electrostatic ion cyclotron waves in a two-ion component plasma.
