Arnol'd diffusion in two dimensions

Abstract

The relativistic interaction of a charged particle with obliquely propagating waves of arbitrary polarization is considered. It is shown that an arbitrarily small wave packet composed of waves with parallel phase velocity comparable to the speed of light (e.g., slow extraordinary mode) can, under certain conditions, accelerate particles to unlimited energy through a process of Arnold'd diffusion in two dimensions.
