Abstract

Experimental and theoretical evidence is reported for the existence of discrete modes in the weakly collisional regime of electrostatic ion waves. The decay of time-harmonic perturbations of the ion velocity distribution function is found to be weaker than expected, and to have a different functional form from the classical theory.
