The findings of the kinetic theory suggest that the characteristic average drift velocity is largely dependent upon the height of beam initiation and, consequently, upon the plasma density at the point of its origin. This, to a large extent, results in the difference between the velocities of the beams generated by chromospheric bursts and the beams being produced at shock wave fronts in the solar corona. %8 2006-12-12
