Abstract
The excitation of collective plasma motion by a small charged object moving through a low-density unbounded plasma in an external uniform, static magnetic field is considered. The energy loss per unit path length due to the excitation of collective plasma motion is found as a function of magnetic field strength for an arbitrary angle between the velocity of the object and the field direction. It is assumed throughout this paper that the ion temperature is zero and the velocity of the charged object is small compared to the mean thermal electron speed.
