Description
A theory is developed that describes ion confinement within a centrifugal-electrostatic effective potential energy well, which is produced by a static Kingdon trap. Both a cylindrical configuration and a spherical configuration are treated. The conditions required for forming the deepest effective potential energy well are determined. Criteria for confining particles that have a drifting Maxwellian velocity distribution are established.
