Struct MagneticMirror 

pub struct MagneticMirror {
    pub b_min: f32,
    pub b_max: f32,
    pub length: f32,
}

Magnetic mirror: confinement between two high-field regions.

Fields

b_min: f32

b_max: f32

length: f32

Implementations

impl MagneticMirror

pub fn new(b_min: f32, b_max: f32, length: f32) -> Self

pub fn mirror_ratio(&self) -> f32

Mirror ratio: R = B_max / B_min

pub fn loss_cone_angle(&self) -> f32

Loss cone angle: sin^2(alpha) = B_min / B_max = 1/R

pub fn is_confined(&self, pitch_angle: f32) -> bool

Check if a particle with given pitch angle is confined. pitch_angle is the angle between velocity and B field.

pub fn field_at_position(&self, z: f32) -> f32

Magnetic field magnitude as a function of position along the axis. Simple model: B(z) = B_min * (1 + (R-1) * (2*z/L)^2) for z in [-L/2, L/2]

pub fn bounce_period(&self, v_parallel: f32) -> f32

Bounce period for a trapped particle. Approximate: T ~ 2*L / v_parallel
