Abstract
We report an experimental investigation of shear modes propagating in two-dimensional Coulomb crystals of positive ions trapped below the su rface of superfluid helium. The dependence of the shear-mode resonant frequencies and linewidths on external drive, temperature, magnetic fi eld, and pool radius has been investigated.
