Scientific paper

Experiments, involving the injection of energetic (keV) electron beams into the ionosphere-upper atmosphere system from rocket-borne electron guns, have provided evidence for the occurrence of strong beam-plasma interactions (BPI) both near to and remote from the injection point. However, the flight experiments have not provided clear and unambiguous evidence for the basic physical processes which produce the variety of confusing signatures. A laboratory experimental program was initiated to clarify some of a number of ambiguities regarding the obtained results. The present investigation is concerned with some experimental studies of the evolution of both the beam energy spectrum and the local wave amplitude-frequency spectrum at increasing axial distances from the electron gun for a variety of experimental conditions. The results of the studies show that the high frequency beam-plasma interaction represents the most important process.
