Fig. 1

Trajectory of one electron, integrated with and without the addition of pitch angle scattering. Both electrons had identical starting conditions. All electrons start with an energy of 1.3 keV. The electric field has magnitude 0.001 in our dimensionless units, which is 3.9 V/m for our typical, coronal parameters. The particle started at x = −0.079, y = 0.046 and z = 0, and with angles φ = 1.57 and θ = 2.61.
