Action–angle coordinates for motion in a straight magnetic field with constant gradient
The motion of a charged particle in a straight magnetic field B=B(y)ẑ with a constant perpendicular gradient is solved exactly in terms of elliptic functions and integrals. The motion can be decomposed in terms of a periodic motion along the y-axis and a drift motion along the x-axis. The periodic...
