Abstract
The resonant behavior of the electron distribution function (EDF) in spatially periodic striation-like fields is analyzed in application to the discharge in neon at low pressures and small current. Numerical solution of the Boltzmann kinetic equation is interpreted from the standpoint of Tsendin’s analytical theory [3] using decomposition into two factors, one of which depends only on the total energy. Features of the EDF formation are considered for both integer resonances (which follow from theory [3]) and non-integer resonances.
