Guiding Center Motion

  • 1. FOM-Institute for Plasma Physics Rijnhuizen (Netherlands)

Description

The motion of charged particles in slowly varying electromagnetic fields is analyzed. The strength of the magnetic field is such that the gyro-period and the gyro-radius of the particle motion around field lines are the shortest time and length scales of the system. The particle motion is described as the sum of a fast gyro-motion and a slow drift velocity
