Connection Between Adiabaticity and the Mirror Mode.

摘要

The size of magnetic moment jumps of a particle in a long,thin equilibrium magnetic mirror field is shown to be related to the complex zeroes of the mirror mode parameter B + 4pi dP/sub perpendicular//dB. A consequence is that adiabaticity places a lower limit on beta than does the mirror mode. (ERA citation 01:025078)
