One component of a three-fluid abiabatic plasma is under certain conditions contained in a restricted region of space by a large-scale electrostatic field generated within the plasma. The containment is discussed here for plasma consisting of ions and two populations of electrons characterized by different pitch angle distribution functions. The 'bouncing' motion of electrons along 'open' fieldlines between a magnetic mirror and an 'electrostatic' mirror produces a velocity distribution function similar to that generated by 'bouncing' particles on 'closed' fieldlines.
