  • Abstract
    The particle motion in a standing left circularly polarized wave is studied. For wave frequency lower than the ion cyclotron frequency ¿ci, the slow varying trajectory is given by the ponderomotive force FNL=q2¿|E|2/[m¿(¿-¿ci)]. However, for ¿ close to ¿ci, stochastic trajectories occur. These stochastic trajectories are due to the overlapping of closed orbits due to each of the propagating waves which form the standing wave.
