Title: Boundary of the trapping region in the problem of disturbance of collisionless plasma by an absorbing sphere

Abstract

The structure of the plasma disturbance near a spherical charged body is analyzed with allowance for the boundedness of the region of finite particle motion. The significance of the outer radius of the spherical region in which trapped particles can exist is demonstrated. The radius of the trapping sphere is determined by the boundary condition imposed on Poisson's equation. The important role played by the boundary of the trapping region in the general analysis and solution of the problem is illustrated by simple examples.
