Abstract
It was found recently that fast electrons travel through the plasma of the solar corona in the form of beam-plasma structure (BPS), which consists of electrons and Langmuir waves. In this paper the influence of scattering BPS Langmuir waves off plasma ions (l+i=l+i) on BPS velocity is studied. We show that the maximum BPS velocity equals 0.35c, which is close to the velocity of Type III bursts sources.
