An approximate analytical expression is obtained for the orbits of a charged particle moving in a cusp magnetic field. The particle orbits pass close to or through a region of zero magnetic field before being reflected in regions where the magnetic field is strong. Comparison with numerically evaluated orbits shows that the analytical formula is surprisingly good and captures all the main features of the particle motion. A map describing the long-time behaviour of such orbits is obtained.

The BBGKY hierarchy for a two-dimensional magnetized plasma is considered in the weak-coupling and small plasma parameter limits for very large magnetic fields. The Fokker-Planck and Balescu-Lenard equations satisfy an H-theorem and conservation laws, and exhibit two cut-offs related to the periodicity of the particle orbits and to the distance of closest approach of a thermal particle.
