Violation of quasiadiabaticity in connection with particle motion in configurations with strongly curved field lines

Description

The magnitude of an adiabatic invariant changes discontinuously at points where separatrices intersect in phase space. Theoretical and numerical results are analyzed and compared. Various limiting cases of the change in the adiabatic invariants are considered. 12 refs., 6 figs
