Compact form for the relativistic ponderomotive Hamiltonian

  • 1. Institute for Fusion Studies, University of Texas, Austin, Texas 78712

Description

The infinite series of functions present in the ponderomotive Hamiltonian are explicitly summed using Newberger's sum rule. The result is a compact and easily evaluated expression for the ponderomotive Hamiltonian. Application of the K-chi theorem yields the linear susceptibility of relativistic magnetized plasma in agreement with, but generalizing, the previous result of Weiss and Weitzner
