Abstract
The damping rate of a large-amplitude electron wave in one dimensional plasma is derived by using the first order perturbation. As the unperturbed solution, the stationary state of Bernstein, Greene and Kruskal's theory is employed. It is shown that the damping rate is proportional to the depth of trapping trough and also there exists an upper limit of the depth for stable sideband oscillations.
