We present results of experimental studies of the nonlinear dynamics of syn- chrotron oscillations in the presence of phase modulation in an electron stor- _- age ring. A streak camera is used to directly observe the longitudinal dis- tribution of an electron bunch as it forms two stable resonant islands. The positions of the fixed points as a function of modulation frequency agree well with theory. We also present rneasurernents of the diffusion rate from one stable island to the other for a fixed modulation frequency which show agree- rnent with the diffusion rates expected from large-angle intrabcam (Touschek) scattering. These results can explain anornalous features in bearn-transfer function diagnostic mcasurernents at other electron storage rings.
