Kramers map approach for stabilization of hydrogen atom in a magnetic field

Abstract

The phenomenon of stabilization of highly excited states of hydrogen atom in a strong monochromatic field is discussed. Approximate description of dynamics by the introduced Kramers map allows to understand the main properties of this phenomenon on the basis of analogy with the Kepler map. Analogy between the stabilization and the channeling of particles in a crystal is also discussed.Comment: Paper 93mar01
