Two-dimensional leapfrog scheme for trajectories of relativistic charged particles in static axisymmetric electric and magnetic field

A method for the calculation of two-dimensional particle trajectories is proposed in this work. It makes use of the cylindrical symmetry and the simplification of the static electric field, so that there should be no systematic error for the centered large-orbit rotations nor for the acceleration or...
