Abstract
In this paper it is shown that in plasma placed in crossed electric and magnetic fields, oscillations are excited with the frequency close to the drift frequencyω 0 =k ϕ υ ϕ . Decay of the oscillations into two other oscillations, for which the selection rulesω 0 =ω 2 −ω 1 andm 0=m 2−m 1 hold, where the frequencyω 1 is close to the Langmuir frequency of ions, was observed.
