Abstract

Using a test particle approach, the potential of a trapped electron is calculated outside the Debye sphere in the electrostatic limit. The potential strongly depends on some characteristic parameters, such as bounce frequencies of the test and background trapped particles, the total number of trapped particles, etc. In some cases, the potential falls off as the inverse of the distance r. The model is limited to the single-wave case; possible generalizations to the many-wave situation in a turbulent plasma are discussed.
