Abstract
It is shown that a charged particle can be trapped in a magnetic neutral sheet produced by the combination of a static magnetic field B 0 and an electromagnetic wave propagating perpendicularly to B 0 with its magnetic field component parallel to B 0 . The neutral sheet as well as the trapped particle moves with the phase velocity of the wave and the trapped particle feels a constant force. Once the particle is trapped it never detraps and the acceleration continues unlimited. Possible ways of creating such a slow electromagnetic wave which can interact with the particles are briefly discussed.
