We have observed experimentally damping and growing of fast and slow space charge waves of an electron beam due to nonlinear Landau damping in an electron beam-plasma system by using spectrum analysis. The former with positive energy damps and the latter with negative energy grows by nonlinear interaction with the Trivelpiece-Gould mode and the electron beam. The lowest and higher modes of the Trivelpiece-Gould modes with respect to a radial wavelength grow by this nonlinear wave-particle interaction satisfying the resonant condition.
