Description
A plasma consisting solely of particles of a single species is initially in the shape of a long column. It is confined by an axial magnetic field in a region of space bounded by a perfectly conducting and perfectly absorbing cylindrical wall. Conservation of angular momentum and conservation of energy are used to place an upper bound on the fraction of electrons that can ever reach the wall
