abstract = {It is shown that a distribution of electrons in
resonance with traveling waves, but colliding with
background distributions of electrons and ions,
evolves to a steady state. Previously, the existence
of such solutions had been assumed, but not proved, in
numerical and other calculations. Details of the
steady state are given analytically in the asymptotic
limit of high electron energy and are compared with
numerical solutions. The asymptotic analytic solution
may be useful for quickly relating emission data to
likely excitations and is more reliable than
conventional numerical solutions at high energy. A
method of improving numerics at high energy is
suggested.}
