The Motion of a Charged Particle in a Nearly Axisymmetric Magnetic Field (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781021503299)

This book discusses the behavior of a charged particle in a magnetic field that is nearly symmetrical about an axis of revolution. The theoretical treatment emphasizes the asymptotic behavior near the guiding center of the particle, where its motion is like that of a particle in a uniform magnetic field. Applications of the theory to cyclotron motion, betatron oscillations, and magnetron devices are also discussed.
