Abstract

Relaxation of an approximately δ-shaped distribution function of electrons injected into P and R striation-like fields on one of the resonant trajectories is analyzed. It is shown that as a result of energy diffusion, electrons appear on other resonant trajectories after several periods. Ultimately, a steady state corresponding to the distribution function in the P and R strata is formed as a result of compression to resonant trajectories and energy diffusion.
