• Bifurcations leading to stochasticity in a cyclotron-maser system 

      Pakter, Renato; Corso, Gilberto Luiz; Caetano, Tiberio Silva; Dillenburg, Darcy; Rizzato, Felipe Barbedo (1994) [Artigo de periódico]
      This paper is concerned with the orbital dynamics of electrons in a cyclotron maser [CO Chen, Phys. Rev. A 46,6654 (1992)] with modulated maser fields. Amplitude modulation is a natural result of wave-particle energy ...
    • Improving regular acceleration in the nonlinear interaction of particles and waves 

      Pakter, Renato; Corso, Gilberto Luiz (1995) [Artigo de periódico]
      In this work one studies the effects arising from the inclusion of a stationary extraordinary mode in the resonant interaction of magnetized particles and perpendicularly propagating electrostatic waves. It is found that ...
    • Manifold reconnection in chaotic regimes 

      Corso, Gilberto Luiz; Rizzato, Felipe Barbedo (1998) [Artigo de periódico]
      In this paper we extend the concept of separatrix reconnection into chaotic regimes. We show that even under chaotic conditions one can still understand enhanced diffusion in phase space in terms of relatively smooth ...
    • Particle acceleration by large-amplitude waves revisited 

      Pakter, Renato; Corso, Gilberto Luiz; Rizzato, Felipe Barbedo (1997) [Artigo de periódico]
      We reconsider the problem of particle acceleration by large-amplitude electromagnetic waves. We make use of a fully relativistic Hamiltonian formalism to show that, as opposed to nonelativistic results obtained by Kuo and ...
    • Resonant islands without separatrix chaos 

      Corso, Gilberto Luiz; Rizzato, Felipe Barbedo (1995) [Artigo de periódico]
      An alternative type of Hamiltonian nonlinear resonant island is analyzed. In the usual case where the resonant island is pendulumlike, chains bifurcated out of the central elliptic point undergo infinite cascades of ...
