Abstract
Enhanced damping of an electron plasma wave due to induced nonlinear decay into a second electron wave plus an ion wave is demonstrated experimentally. The particular ion distribution allows decay into both positive and negative energy ion waves. The threshold for decay into the positive energy waves is shown to be consistent with theory.
