The transmission of helicons through Al slabs has been investigated experimentally and numerically for q ∥ B ∥ [100] and [110]. In the former case oscillations are observed, for B smaller than the cut‐off field for helicons which might be of the Gantmakher‐Kaner type. Finally, the Landau damping for B not parallel to q is investigated. For comparison with the theory the non‐local magnetoconductivity tensor is calculated from Ashcroft's Fermi surface model and the helicon dispersion relation is solved numerically. This leads to a good overall interpretation of the experiments.
