PLASMA PHYSICS
Abstract
The injection of relatively strong electron beams with large energy spread into a high density plasma gave no indication for an electrostatic instability of the beam. Anomalous energy losses of the beam at the onset of an instability are believed to be the stabilizing mechanism. Disappearance of the excitation light of the beam at a critical electron density was, however, observed. The origin of this effect is not understood at the present time.
