Abstract
A study is made of the effect of a longitudinal magnetic field on the electron energy distribution function in the positive column and in th e anode region of a glow discharge in neon. The experimental results a re qualitatively interpreted in terms of the nonlocal electron kinetic s. It is shown that the superimposition of a longitudinal magnetic fie ld leads to radial localization of the electron energy distribution fu nction.
