Abstract
A study is made of the collisionless damping of surface plasmons under arbi trary conditions of electron reflection at the interface between the media. The damping rate is found as a function of the parameter characterizing th e diffusion process at the interface. The damping of surface plasmons is at tributed to their conversion into Van Kampen waves.
