Title: Magnetic field line Hamiltonian

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6911924· OSTI ID:6911924

The magnetic field line Hamiltonian and the associated canonical form for the magnetic field are important concepts both for understanding toroidal plasma physics and for practical calculations. A number of important properties of the canonical or Hamiltonian representation are derived and their importance is explained.
