title: Non-neutral plasma column in an asymmetric trapping field.
abstract: A non-neutral plasma column in an asymmetric trapping field is considered in this paper. It is shown that nonlinearly interacting bulk plasma oscillations and quadrupole surface waves allow an exact analytical description. The absence of symmetry leads to nonintegrability and other nonlinear phenomena, such as passage through different resonances and phase locking. These phenomena should be observable in experiments involving elliptical traps and rotating walls and can affect the latters' applications.
