Electrons are injected into a stochastic magnetic region (SMR) of a stellarator vacuum configuration. Remarkably, when the SMR is present, some field-following electrons in the SMR move inwardly across the last closed flux surface. This inward propagation occurs in a collisionless process, but it is never observed for cases where the SMR is lost, nor is the electron density small in the SMR. These suggest the existence of cross-field transport that is associated with free-streaming of electrons along the stochastically wandering field lines in the SMR.
