The boosting of electrons from a Maxwellian distribution into a suprathermal power-law tail has long been recognized as an important bottleneck governing the subsequent acceleration of some of these electrons to relativistic energies. This is the seed or injection problem. The author studies this boosting process using a test-particle simulation code, following the full equations of motion of tens of thousands of electrons chosen from a thermal population as they move through general time-dependent magnetic fields.
