Canonical Hamiltonian theory of the guiding-center motion in an axisymmetric torus, with the different time scales well separated
- Department of Physics, Fudan University, 200433 Shanghai (China)
A new set of exact canonical variables of guiding-center motion in an axisymmetric torus has been systematically identified and an action-angle variable formalism has been established. In this new canonical Hamiltonian theory, the time scale of poloidal motion and the time scale of toroidal drift (precession) of the guiding-centers are well separated.
