Abstract
Stochastic motion of collisionless guiding centers in tandem mirror devices is analyzed in terms of a nonlinear mapping of particle positions on the equatorical plane. Local stability analysis determines the appearance of various patterns of particle trajectories. Numerical observation of radial motion of particles makes it possible to estimate the rate of stochastic diffusion.
期刊介绍:
Physica D (Nonlinear Phenomena) publishes research and review articles reporting on experimental and theoretical works, techniques and ideas that advance the understanding of nonlinear phenomena. Topics encompass wave motion in physical, chemical and biological systems; physical or biological phenomena governed by nonlinear field equations, including hydrodynamics and turbulence; pattern formation and cooperative phenomena; instability, bifurcations, chaos, and space-time disorder; integrable/Hamiltonian systems; asymptotic analysis and, more generally, mathematical methods for nonlinear systems.
