Abstract
The dc resistivity caused by ion acoustic turbulence in plasmas is measured and effective collision frequencies of electrons are obtained from the resistivity as a function of electron drift velocity. These experimental results can be explained by using the theoretical model of Horton et al., in which the nonlinear ion Landau damping dominates the turbulence spectrum.Keywords
