the progagation of ion acoustic waves (iaw) in high-frequency fields is experimentally studied. the resulting phase-velocity shift and enhanced damping are observed for rf-field amplitudes up to alpha (sub e) approximately equals .5, where alpha (sub e) equals ee/(m (sub e) omega (sub o) v (sub e)) is the normalized amplitude. good agreement with the theory of albright is found.
