Gauge-independent gyro-kinetic equation
Description
The necessity to reinvestigate the present gyro-kinetic formalism is proposed and analyzed. To achieve the gauge-independent gyro-kinetic equation, we start with the standard linearized Vlasov equation in terms of gyro-kinetic variables and deal with all terms in the equation consistently in the gyro-average process. The obtained solution is explicitly gauge-independent and physical meaning of all the terms in the solution is independently manifested. Finally, to show application of the theory, we discuss the drift mode with the achieved formalism. (author). 6 refs
