Confinement of charged particles by transverse waves in plasma

Traveling transverse electromagnetic waves in a plasma can trap and reflect charged particles if the waves are amplitude-modulated. The analysis uses the longitudinal adiabatic invariant for charged particles in a reference system moving at the group velocity of the wave, assuming a slowly varying wave amplitude. The general results are illustrated by the example of a circularly polarized wave.
