1. INTRODUCTION
The magnetic moment of the charged particle moving
in the electric and magnetic fields is
B
m

v2
⊥=μ , (1)
where and ||vvv −=⊥
( )
2|| B
vBBv ⋅
= are the
perpendicular and parallel to the steady magnetic field
components of the particle velocity.
The magnetic moment is an approximate invariant of
motion, when the motion is adiabatic and the fields vary
slowly at the particle gyro-center.
The accuracy of the expression for the magnetic
moment is of low-order with respect to the adiabaticity
parameter, i.e. the ratio LL /ρλ = of the particle Larmor
radius to the characteristic scale of non-uniformity, and a
higher order invariant, which to leading order is the
magnetic moment, needs to be consistent with other
independent invariants.
Corrections for the invariant for several particular cases
are calculated in Refs. [1-6]. However, the equation for
the evolution of μ is not derived there.
2. ANALYTICAL TREATMENT
To describe the particle motion in static electric and
magnetic fields which are slowly varying in space, the
Newton’s and Lorentz force equations are analyzed:

The electric field is equal to:

Here ϕ is the scalar electric potential.
Energy conservation reads:

The equation for parallel velocity can be written in the
following form:

In non-uniform fields the motion is mainly Larmor
rotation with slowly varying parallel and perpendicular
guiding center velocities. For this reason the right-hand
side of the equation (10) contains slowly varying parts
and parts oscillating with the gyro-frequency and its
harmonics. The particle perpendicular velocity could be
represented as:
( ) ( ) ( )201
⊥⊥⊥⊥ ++= vvvv δδ , (11)
where ( )1
⊥v is the term responsible for the Larmor rotation,
( )0
⊥vδ -drift in inhomogeneous magnetic field, ( )2
⊥vδ -
unharmonicity, the term describing Larmor circle
deformation. The upper index values could be explained
in the following way: is associated with the non-
oscillating motion, describes the fundamental
cyclotron harmonic, stands for second cyclotron
harmonic terms.

harmonic oscillation.

3. ORDERING TERMS
To provide the same order contribution to the magnetic
moment corrections, the oscillating terms should be one
order higher in the adiabaticity parameter than the slowly
varying terms, since ∫

The expression (10) could be represented in following

associated with the contribution to the magnetic moment

conservation law (8) and the equation for the parallel
velocity (9).

The right-hand side of this equation determines the slow
variation of the magnetic moment in time, and is
associated with the magnetic field vorticity in current-
carrying plasma.
4. CONCLUSIONS
In the report, the adiabatic motion of charged particles in
static electromagnetic fields is analyzed. The equation for
the corrected magnetic moment is obtained in coordinate-
independent form. The derived local corrections to the
magnetic moment invariant are oscillating and are
associated with the particle drift. They have no influence
on conservation of the magnetic moment in average, but
they make the higher order magnetic moment invariant
consistent with the other invariants such as the
generalized momentum.
The right-hand side of the equation determines the slow
variation of the magnetic moment in time, and is
associated with the magnetic field vorticity in current-
carrying plasma.
The corrections to the magnetic moment invariant are
consistent with the standard expressions for the first order
drift and parallel motion of the guiding center.
