Transcribed Image Text:In order to confine a particle of charge q and mass m in a finite volume, a
one-dimensional magnetic well is used (magnetic mirror), of magnitude given
by:
72
B,(z) = Bo(1 +)
L2
The total kinetic energy of the particle is "Ex". At the center of the magnetic
well z=0, the velocity of the particle is oriented at some angle "a" with
respect to the z-axis. Assuming that the particle's gyroradius is much less
than L, derive an expression of the bounce frequency "o" as a function of
the parameters provided, o = ob(L,a,Ek,m). Neglect the effects due to field
line curvature.
