The problem of plasma cyclotron heating in ECR plasma sources, to sustain the discharge, remains important at present.
There are two methods for the analysis of this problem. The first one is the one particle stochastic mechanism and the
second one is related with the non-linear interaction of waves where the collective behaviour of particles becomes the
most important. In this work, in the Hamilton formalism, the stochastic mechanism of the cyclotron heating is analyzed.
It is considered the case of an ECR plasma source where a TE11 electromagnetic wave is applied. The critical energy for
the resonance mixing is calculated an by the “section-of-surface” method the inhomogeneity of the external magnetic
field is analyzed.

where vp m= is the momentum, e and m are the
charge and the mass of the ions. The magnetic field B
and the electric field E in eq. (1) are assumed as the sum
of slowly varying in space fields plus rapidly varying
fields in the form

where ,/0 ωmceB=Ω and ωmceEg /0= is the
small parameter.
In order to use the Bogoliuvov’s averaging
method with resonances [1] it becomes important to
transform the system of equations (6) into the standard
form. This procedure is obtained by the introduction of
the complex variable ρ :

“surface-of-section” picture of equation (8) is shown in
Fig. 1. From this figure, we can observe that as the
amplitude of the wave increases the convergence to a
point is more slowly. In the case of very high values of
the amplitude we obtain high-order resonances (small
circles). This picture illustrates that there exist critical
values of the energy absorption in dependence of the
power of the wave.

Thus, an easy way to obtain the standard form of
equations (6) consist of introducing the new variables
( ) ( ),cos,cos 222111 ψθζψθζ +=+= aa (10)
where 2,1a and 2,1ψ are unknown functions to be
obtained, and 1ζ is related with 2ζ by .21 ζζζ +=
Applying the averaging method [1] to equations (6) using
variables (10), the system of equation for 2,1a and 2,1ψ
are obtained in the limiting cases

where 0χ is the initial phase, )0(0Ω is the initial value
of )(0 τΩ and 2
0 mcW = is the rest energy.
To study the energy absorption at the cyclotron
resonance, we will consider the parameters of an electron
cyclotron resonance plasma source reported in [3]. The
magnetic field )(zBz is calculated using the method
described in [4]. The parameters used in calculations are
summarized in Table 1.
Table 1. Parameters for calculating the magnetic field
and the perpendicular energy (12).
J1=J2=50.0A r1=r2=8.0cm L1=L2=20 M1=M2=20
Z1=-60-0cm Z2=60.0cm
0χ =0.0 V(0)=2.65E8cm/s
Using these parameters, in Fig. 2 are shown two
cases of the energy (12) in dependence of tωτ = . The
first one corresponds to the field density
5
0 1062.2 ×=E V/cm, and the second one corresponds
to the case of 2
0 1062.2 ×=E V/cm. As can be seen
from these charts, a maximum of the energy absorption is
present. If the field density is increased, the energy
absorption is stopped (the average is equal to zer). Here a
big question arises, is there only one maximum in the
energy absorption?

2. OBTANING OF THE HAMILTONIAN
Following the procedure reported in [5] to describe the
motion of a charged particle in magnetic mirror systems
in presence of an electromagnetic field, where the
perturbation method applied to the Hamiltonian of the
particle seems to be highly suitable in using canonical
transformations and thus finding the cyclic coordinates
(momentums and frequencies) of motion of the particle.
An appropriated form of the Hamiltonian is obtained by
replacing the cylindrical coordinates by orthogonal
curvilinear coordinates, defined by the lines of force of
the magnetic field. By applying the perturbation method
of multi-periodic systems to the Hamiltonian in these
coordinates, the Hamiltonian of the guiding centers is
obtained from which the integrals of motion and the
frequencies of motion can be determined. The magnetic
geometry for a mirror system is defined by two equations
,0,0 == BB divrot and by the boundary conditions.
The motion of a particle in this field is described by the
Hamiltonian in the field coordinates [5]
,0 HHH ∆+= (13)
where 0H is the Hamiltonian which accounts for the
external magnetic field, and H∆ is the Hamiltonian
associated with the electromagnetic field. Introducing the
magnetic field for a mirror system in the form

The last result shows that no other constant of motion in
addition to the energy exist, then we can be sure that the
system is stochastic. This result was obtained in [6],
where an electrostatic wave was considered. In order to
analyze the merging of the stochasticity it becomes
important the construction of “surface-of-section”
pictures of Hamiltonian (20) in dependence of the wave
amplitude value.
