Abstract

The gyrokinetic description of particle dynamics faces a basic difficulty when a special type of canonical variables is sought, i.e., the so-called gyrokinetic canonical variables. These are defined in such a way that two of them are respectively identified with the gyrophase-angle, describing the fast particle gyration motion around magnetic field lines, and its canonically conjugate momentum. In this paper we intend to discuss the conditions of existence for these variables.
