| Abstract:
|
For a system of N charged particles moving in a homogeneous,
sufficiently strong magnetic field, a many-particle adiabatic
invariant constrains the collisional exchange of energy between
the degrees of freedom perpendicular to and parallel to the
magnetic field. A description of the phenomenon in terms of
Hamiltonian dynamics is given. The relation to the Equipartition
Theorem of statistical Mechanics is briefly discussed. |
