Abstract
Using a Stark-effect diagnostic, we have explored a new regime of relativistic beam-plasma turbulence, E2nTe. Measurements of E and of the plasma frequency used nonperturbing optical techniques during the electron-beam pulse. Fields up to 150 kV/cm display an exponential spectrum, exp(-E2/E02) with E0=85 kV/cm. This spectrum does not resemble that given by strong-turbulence theory, and involves stronger fields than are dealt with in current theory.
