Excerpt from The Motion of a Charged Particle Near a Zero Field Point

A catalogue of all possible orbits would be too long and too confusing to be of value. It is natural to wish to separate the orbits into a few broad classes defined in terms of the gross behavior of particles over a large but finite period of time.

For example, it is known that a large class of orbits always remain so far from the zero-field point that the magnetic moment of such a particle is, for all practical purposes, a constant. Such a particle Spirals about a guiding center field line and moves along that line (with some precession due to the non-uniformity of the field) in one direction until it is reflected in a region of convergent field lines. On the other hand, a particle passing very near the zero-field point executes a complicated orbit and undergoes large changes in its magnetic moment (see Figure 2)
