title = "Studies of large amplitude Alfv{\'e}n waves and wave-wave interactions in a laboratory plasma",
abstract = "A summary is given of experiments on large amplitude Alfv{\'e}n waves in the Large Plasma Device at UCLA. The Alfv{\'e}n waves are generated using either a resonant cavity (the Alfv{\'e}n wave maser) or loop antenna and have magnetic field amplitude δB/B ∼ 1%. These sources have been used to study a strong nonlinear interaction between Alfv{\'e}n waves where two co-propagating waves beat together to drive an off-resonant Alfv{\'e}n wave. In addition, with the launch of single large-amplitude Alfv{\'e}n waves there is evidence for strong electron heating. The heating creates a highly-structured temperature profile which is unstable to drift-Alfv{\'e}n waves.",
