Guiding center and gyrokinetic orbit theory for large electric field gradients and strong shear flows

Guiding center and gyrokinetic orbit theory for large electric field gradients and strong shear flows

The guiding center and gyrokinetic theory of magnetized particle motion is extended to the regime of large electric field gradients perpendicular to the magnetic field. A gradient in the electric field directly modifies the oscillation frequency and causes the Larmor orbits to deform from circular to elliptical trajectories. In order …
