Measurements are reported of a constant frequency oscillation in a current-carrying thermal plasma. A collision-free theory is presented which includes a standing wave in the plasma together with a sheath oscillation. It is postulated that the ion velocity distribution function becomes flattened atv =±ω/k and this gives good agreement between theory and experiment.
