When an electron is accelerated by an oscillating electric field in an inhomogeneous magnetic field which has a null point, it meanders along a chaotic orbit. The kinetic energy becomes larger than that of regular motion in an off-resonant homogeneous magnetic field. This effect explains the high efficiency of plasma production in the neutral line discharge (NLD).
