3. In addition to the high phase velocity waves measured in the backscattered spectrum corresponding to SRS, a separate process in the backscattered spectrum at a much lower amplitude associated with the low phase velocity component, termed stimulated scattering from an electron-acoustic wave (SEAS) (Ref.) was also identified from Trident experiments. The interpretation of the observed SEAS has been the focus of many studies: e.g., Ref.; B. Afeyan, K. Won, V. Savchenko, T. W. Johnston, A. Ghizzo, and P. Bertrand, Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Inertial Fusion Sciences and Applications, Monterey, CA, USA, 2003, edited by, B. A. Hammel, D. D. Meyerhofer, J.
