Single particle motion in a Penning trap: description in the classical canonical formalism

Open access
Kretzschmar, Martin·1992·Physica Scripta

Abstract

This paper aims at the development of methods for the calculation of the characteristic frequencies of a Penning trap, taking into account deviations of the actual geometry from the ideal one, anharmonicities of the electric potential, misalignments and inhomogeneities of the magnetic field, additional time dependent electromagnetic fields, and so on. The paper starts by describing the motion of a single charged particle in an ideal hyperbolic Penning trap using the formalism of classical hamiltonian mechanics. The usefulness of rotating coordinates is pointed out, and the importance of conservation of canonical angular momentum is stressed. After transformation to action-angle variables the ideal hyperbolic Penning trap can be considered as a 0-th approximation for a systematic classical hamiltonian perturbation approach to "real" Penning traps, as they are used in the laboratory. It is explained how a given problem has to be set up and prepared for the perturbation calculation, then the general principles of the method are outlined. Finally the application of the method is illustrated on hand of a number of worked out examples.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
