| Abstract: | The dynamics of the electron plasma component in plasma accelerators with closed drift and a long acceleration zone are considered under certain simplifying assumptions (strong uniform magnetic field, elastic diffuse electron scattering by the channel walls, etc.). Exact solutions of the kinetic equation for electrons in different limiting cases are found. The results are generalized to include the case of a weakly nonuniform magnetic field.Moscow.
