Scientific paper

The three-dimensional character of the beam-plasma instability is investigated. The true beam-electron distribution function is resolved with a novel directional energy analyzer. The electron plasma waves are observed to develop a large spread in perpendicular wave numbers and damp in a relatively short distance producing an energetic electron tail on the background distribution. The damping is believed to be due to strong ion fluctuations which produce an anomalous resistivity.
