Abstract
In this letter we propose an interpretation of a recent experiment on the anomalous absorption of a powerful electromagnetic wave in a collisionless plasma. The electromagnetic wave excites an instability, driving up the ion density fluctuations. The ion waves scatter energy efficiently from the electromagnetic wave into longitudinal plasma modes which are then absorbed in the plasma. 15 refs., 2 figs.
