In electron cyclotron resonance of metals/solids can there be electron acceleration without them engaging in collision ? I read the last para of electron cyclotron resonance wikipedia page which stated this

Collision-less acceleration of electrons refers to the process by which electrons gain energy and accelerate without colliding with other particles or materials. This can occur in a vacuum or in a plasma environment.
Yes, collision-less acceleration of electrons has been observed in various situations, such as in space plasmas and in particle accelerators. It is also a key concept in the study of plasma physics and astrophysics.
Collision-less acceleration of electrons can occur through various mechanisms, such as electric fields, magnetic fields, and wave-particle interactions. These processes can lead to the transfer of energy from other particles or fields to the electrons, causing them to accelerate.
Collision-less acceleration of electrons has various applications, including in plasma-based technologies, such as plasma thrusters and fusion reactors. It also plays a crucial role in understanding phenomena in astrophysical environments, such as solar flares and cosmic ray acceleration.
While collision-less acceleration of electrons can have many beneficial applications, it can also pose some dangers. For example, in space plasmas, it can cause damage to spacecraft and electronics. In particle accelerators, it can lead to radiation exposure for workers and proper safety measures must be taken.
