Parallel trapping is shown to depend upon the gyro-averaged potential energy and to give rise to gyro-averaged charge deficit. Both types of average are expressible as convolutions with perpendicular Gaussians of width equal to the thermal gyro-radius. Orbit-following confirms these phenomena but also confirms for the first time in self-consistent potential profiles the importance of gyro-bounce-resonance detrapping and consequent velocity diffusion on stochastic orbits. The averaging strongly reduces the trapped electron deficit that can be sustained by any potential profile whose transverse width is comparable to the gyro-radius $r_g$. It effectively prevents equilibrium widths smaller than $\\sim r_g$ for times longer than a quarter parallel-bounce-period. Avoiding gyro-bounce resonance detrapping is even more restrictive, except for very small potential amplitudes, but it takes multiple bounce-periods to act. Quantitative criteria are given for both types of orbit loss.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.10180v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2101.10180v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"finite-gyro-radius-multidimensional-electron","repo_url":"https://github.com/ihutch/AxisymOrbits","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
