説明
<jats:p>The second term has been obtained in the asymptotic series for the second (longitudinal) adiabatic invariant of charged-particle motion in a static magnetic field. This correction to the lowest-order invariant has two sources: the correction to the lowest-order magnetic moment and the integrated effect of the guiding-center drift across the field lines. The second term is found to vanish at the mirror points; therefore, during its motion between mirror reflections, the guiding center deviates from the surface on which the lowest-order invariant is constant and intersects this surface at reflection.</jats:p>
