  • 1. Academia Sinica, Beijing, BJ (China). Inst. of Physics

Description

The guiding center Hamiltonian in the current sheet of the reversed field magnetic configuraion is presented. The unperturbed orbit and guiding center position are obtained using a simple inhomogeneous magnetic model. The contribution of a small normal magnetic component to the Hamiltonian is given by the method of Lie transformation. The result can be used to analyse the motion of charged particles in current sheet of the interplanery space, magnetotail and field-reversed pinch
