Popis:	Nonadiabatic effects during the confinement of energetic electrons with a gyroradius comparable with the magnetic field scale have been studied with a phase section technique. The appearance of a hot electron component is a characteristic feature of electron-cyclotron-resonance-heated plasma production in magnetic mirrors. A criterion for the absence of stable trajectories and the transition to strong stochastic motion for any initial condition is proposed and confirmed by simulations. Satisfactory agreement with the experimental x-ray spectra is obtained.
