Abstract
The motion of charged particles in slowly varying electromagnetic fiel ds is analyzed. The strength of the magnetic field is such that the gy ro-period and the gyro-radius of the particle motion around field line s are the shortest time and length scales of the system. The particle motion is described as the sum of a fast gyro-motion and a slow drift velocity.
