We present laboratory observations of shear Alfv¿n wave resonances in a cylindrical plasma column. Fourier data are presented which show the existence of many standing eigenmodes in the shear Alfv¿n frequency range. Harmonic frequency dependence on ambient B&vec; is presented for three resonances. A wavelet analysis is used to show the lifetimes of the identified harmonic modes. Experimental Q values for the first five eigenfrequencies are measured and compared to theoretical values. ¿ 2001 American Geophysical Union
