Ion heating and relatively large radial, rf electric fields have been observed in an experiment in which an electron beam modulated near the ion plasma frequency excites the resonances of a partially filled plasma cavity. Predictions based on a theoretical self-consistent model for a finite-length beam-plasma system are in good agreement with the experimental observations.
