The electron energy distribution relaxes to a Maxwellian distribution a few microseconds after the beginning of the pulse.

In the opinion of the authors, the most likely explanation is a mechanism in which an equilibrium distribution is produced by the high-frequency oscillations of the double sheath near the wall; this is the only mechanism capable of producing a Maxwellian energy distribution for the electrons in the brief time which is observed experimentally.
