Abstract
The conditions of suppressing the collective slowing-down of an ionic beam on electrons, which is caused by the excitation of electron plasma oscillations (beam instability) by ions, are found. In contrast to available explicit and implicit indications, a large spread of the energies only in an ionic beam is insufficient for this suppression. The acceleration of ions is shown to become stable when a sufficiently large spread of the electron velocities is simultaneously present. The beam instability of ions is suppressed by the Landau damping of the ion-excited plasma waves at electrons. The results obtained are used to analyze the possibility of ion acceleration by collapsed cylindrical plasma liners.
