Abstract
The negative-mass (space-charge) instability is studied within the mod el of a flat thin electron beam moving along the stationary uniform ma gnetic field in the case of nonsymmetrical perturbations. It is shown that due to the phenomenon of ''phase mixing'' of electron bunches the instability increments are small for perturbations with spatial scale s smaller than the Larmor diameter.
