Abstract
The interaction of a charged particle in vacuum with a circularly polarized wave leaving the region of a strong static gravitational field in the direction of a magnetostatic field is considered. It turns out that this combination of fields forms, generally speaking, two capture regions (CR1 and CR2) on the phase cylinder of the particle. The evolution of these regions is determined by the gravitational field. The influence of the gravitational field on the rigidity of confinement of the particle in one of these regions (CR1) is investigated. It is shown that the rigidity of confinement of particles with relatively high energies may increase toward the periphery of the gravitational field. The possibility of particle escape by the wave is demonstrated for particles whose initial energy is insufficient to leave the gravitational field region in the absence of the wave. In this case, the particle is trapped by the wave in CR1 and subsequently confined. The mechanism of trapping the particle is discussed.
