Abstract

A systematic first-principles approach to the many-particle formulation of the gyro-kinetic theory is suggested. The gyro-kinetic many-particle Hamiltonian is derived using the Lie transform technique. The generalized gyro-kinetic equation is obtained following the Born–Bogoliubov–Green–Kirkwood–Yvon approach. The microscopic expression for the self-consistent potential and the polarization density is obtained. It is shown that new terms appear in the gyro-kinetic polarization that can not be derived in the conventional approach. An expression for the collision term is obtained in the Landau approximation.
