Equilibrium state of charged particles in a wave propagating along the magnetic field

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

This investigation examines the adiabatic motion of a charged particle near the equilibrium state in a field of a plane, circularly polarized, electromagnetic wave which is propagating with a changing velocity phase along the magnetic field. Approximate equations are found which describe the behavior of the equilibrium state parameters when the wave leaves the medium and enters a vacuum. It is shown that compared to the equilibrium value in this situation under the adiabatic approximation there is a decrease in amplitude of the particle energy fluctuation; this establishes the possibility of a prolonged acceleration of the particle to high energies. It is further demonstrated that a particle moving close to equilibrium state can appear to be in the autoresonance regime when the wave enters vacuum.
