Abstract

The acceleration of test electrons by a resonant, one—dimensional electric structure is studied in the convective regime with the Zakharov equations. Depending on the nonlinearity level the particle acceleration is due to diffusion or trapping by the plasma wave. Electron distributions are obtained and compared with 1-D particle code results. Influence of Landau damping formulation is discussed.
