Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

The Lagrangian function, the Hamiltonian function and the Rayleigh's dissipation function for the electrodynamic model of the rail plasma accelerator and for the phenomenon of polarization of plasma clusters have been found. The generalized momenta and energy, the Hamilton's canonical equations and the equation of energy balance have been derived in both cases.
