Electrons are needed to maintain quasineutrality in a case where positive ions are injected across the magnetic field into a limited volume in a magnetized plasma. In the absence of collisions, a positive potential builds up and traps the electrons which enter the region along the magnetic field. If the added density of ions exceeds the ambient density, large potential differences along the magnetic field can be maintained this way. The process explains several features of the Porcupine xenon beam injection experiment, where strong magnetic field aligned electric fields were measured in the vicinity of a xenon ion beam which was injected into the ambient ionosphere from a spinning sub payload.
