Abstract

A novel method has been proposed for indefinite nonstochastic acceleration of particles by electrostatic waves propagating normal to a magnetic field. Use is made of a magnetic field inhomogeneity to prevent the particle from detrapping from the electrostatic wave. Numerical plots of particle trajectories are presented.
