[en] Experiments are described in which field-reversing E layers were transported axially in RECE-Christa over a distance of up to 10 ring radii using time-varying magnetic fields. When properly executed, this process does not lead to anomalous fast-electron losses. The translation speed appears consistent with that expected from the interaction of the rings with the axial B/sub z/-field gradients and the resistive tank wall. No significant difference is observed between moving the rings in a homogeneous H₂ fill and moving them from a transient gas cloud into a low-gas-density region
