The effect of electron cyclotron wave on trapped electrons and runaway electrons in mirror plasma is discussed in the context of the Lagrangian formulism of the guiding center for charged particle developed by Littlejohn. The condition for transition between trapped electrons and runaway electrons is given, their transition probabilities are evaluated as well.
