Effect of a DC Electric Field on Beam Trapping.
Abstract
In the absence of wave damping the momentum of a weak cold beam can be clamped while the wave amplitude increases secularly in time. When wave damping is present a nonlinear equilibrium is attained in which the beam evolves into a singular charge clump which drifts at constant velocity through the plasma. (Author)
