Abstract

We observe radial expansion of an ion beam propagating along a homogeneous guide magnetic field. The beam spreading appears to arise from interactions with beam-excited resonant ion cyclotron waves. Magnitude and scaling of the expansion agree with a theory based on a resonant diffusion process.
