Abstract
The ponderomotive force arises in plasma physics as a weak field approximation on particle dynamics. Recent advances in stochasticity theory lead to the conclusion that for sufficiently strong fields, the ponderomotive potential well disappears, and significant portions of phase space are filled with stochastic trajectories. This is illustrated by numerically studying the phase space behavior of the oscillation center.
