(color online) Surface plots of AGE in the (f; z) and (f; r) spaces for 4 magnetic mirrors. For left figures [panels (a1) and (a2)], the employed collisionality consists of original Coulomb collisions and electron Landau damping, whereas it is decreased by a factor of 10 for right figures [panels (b1) and (b2)].
