Abstract

The excitation of plasma waves during the injection of an unmodulated and a density-modulated electron beam into a semi-infinite cold plasma is investigated. It is shown that the Langmuir oscillation energy accumulated in the plasma increases substantially near the plasma boundary and that the dimension of the region where the Langmuir oscillation energy is localized decreases with time.
