It has been found experimentally that a Langmuir turbulence is excited in the interaction of an intense relativistic electron beam with a plasma. A narrow-band gas filter, which absorbs the output from a C02 laser on the R 14 transition, has made it possible to use the scattering method to study the turbulence.
