Hamilton Jacobi Equation

SynopsisThe adiabatic invariants associated with the motion of charged particles, trapped in electromagnetic fields with rotational and reflection symmetry, have been studied using classical methods based on the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. It has been shown that results, valid for trapping in purely magnetic configurations, may be applied in the analysis of electromagnetic charged particle traps, provided that suitably modified expressions are used for the angular frequencies in the various dynamical modes. Attention is drawn to circumstances in which the adiabatic conditions may be violated because of cancellation of electric and magnetic terms in the equations.

Adiabatic Motion

E×B guiding-centre (GC) motion in a special configuration of three low-frequency electrostatic waves can be considered as a paradigmatic Hamiltonian system for studying adiabatic motion and separatrix crossings. A peculiarity of this system is that a single initial condition gives rise to two stroboscopic phase-space trajectories. According to the classical Hamiltonian theory, the proportion of points on the stroboscopic trajectories is a function of the time evolution of the surfaces enclosed by the separatrices in the phase space. This behaviour is qualitatively observed in test-particle numerical experiments. The ability of numerical integration methods like the ‘classical’ fourth-order Runge–Kutta integration scheme or a third-order symplectic integrator to reproduce the statistics is analysed.

Hamiltonian Theory

A comparison is made of the conventional quantum mechanical hamiltonian for the interaction of molecular systems with the electromagnetic field and the alternative multipole formulation given recently (Atkins & Woolley 1970). The conventional hamiltonian is first derived by using Dirac’s generalized hamiltonian theory in which the Coulomb gauge condition is introduced as a supplementary condition. We analyse further the interpretation of the unitary transformation that connects the two hamiltonians in terms of the arbitrariness of the phase of the wavefunctions of charged particles in the presence of the electromagnetic field, and finally examine the problem of exhibiting explicitly the binding energies of the molecular systems.
