We want to know the trajectory.
1. Obtain equation of motion for relativistic momentum

2. Use equations of relativistic dynamics to obtain differential equation for velocity.
Here we used that e is constant, since the H-field does not work on the particle.
Take the time derivative of both sides.

This is the differential equation for v that we want.

3. Integrate to obtain velocity vs. time.

Real part
Imaginary part
vot and a are determined by the initial conditions.
a = the initial phase.

4. Integrate again to obtain coordinates vs. time.
pt = projection of the momentum in the XY plane.

Trajectory is helix with constant speed along z. Angular rotation frequency = w.

For an H-field that is uniform on the scale of the particle orbit, the change in magnitude and direction is “Adiabatic”.
Orbit changes only slightly during one period.
Adiabatic invariant (Mechanics)
Projection of the generalized momentum in the plane perpendicular to H.
Integrate over the complete period of motion (circumference of a circle.)

If H magnitude varies slowly in space…
As electron moves through changing field,H appears to be changing temporally in magnitude, while remaining spatially uniform to the charge.

Energy (and p2) remain constant, since H does no work. (e2 = m2c4+ p2c2).
The longitudinal component of p º pl, p2 = pl2 + pt

Penetration into regions with p2 < CH is impossible.
Positive definite

Radius of helix decreases as H increases.

Inhomogeneity of H causers a drift of the guiding center transverse to H.

• The radius of the helix decreases as H increases. • The longitudinal step per cycle decreases as H increases.• Eventually, the particle is reflected.
