Abstract
The propagation of a low-density-modulated ion beam with finite cross section in a homogeneous plasma is considered. Analytical expressions describing a Cerenkov-like radiation pattern are obtained. An experimental setup is described that is suitable for investigating these phenomena. The results are in qualitative agreement with the analytical expressions
