Abstract

The ponderomotive force in a magnetized plasma is derived by carrying out the renormalization of wave–particle interactions based on the Vlasov equation. A significant feature of the resuit is non-singular behaviour at resonance even in the case of perpendicular propagation. This is shown to be related to the onset of the diffusive motion of particles due to the orbit instability near resonance, where the ponderomotive force is eventually small.
