The acceleration boundary for an electrically charged test particle within the vacuum fields produced by a rotating magnet is found to be modified by the presence of a plasma wind. Results of an estimate of the modified acceleration boundary based on a theory of plane nonlinear plasma waves are presented here. The modified acceleration boundaries for electrons and protons are found to coalesce with increasing eigenumber density, whereas in the low-density limit the well known vacuum results are regained.
