Relativistic V-Vectorsub(P) X B-Vector Acceleration of Charged Particles by an Obliquely Propagating Electrostatic Wave

摘要

A relativistic theory is developed for the v-vectorsub(p) x B-vector acceleration of charged particles trapped by an electrostatic wave. The amplitude E the of electric field, the phase velocity v-vectorsub(p) and the angle theta between v-vectorsub(p) and the external magnetic field B-vector are arbitrary. If E/B > 1/ sqrt 2 and the angle theta is appropriately chosen, initially trapped particles never detrap and an indefinite increase of the particle energy takes place. (Atomindex citation 16:082713)
