The calculation of the axial variation of the ambipolar potential in a mirror machine is presented for an angular ion distribution which is not maximum at theta = pi /2( theta =Arc tg( nu 1 / nu 11 )). In this condition the potential presents a dip at the mid-plane; cold ions can be trapped in the electrostatic well. The cold ion density is calculated.
