Abstract
In this work an experimental determination has been made of the energy losses of an initially unmodulated electron beam passing through a plasma (with no magnetic field). These losses amount to 12% of the beam energy for a beam current of 8 amp, a beam voltage of 26 kev and a plasma density of 7–9·1010 cm−3.
It is shown that these high losses are due to the coherent interaction of the beam with the plasma.
