Hamiltonian formulation of guiding center motion

The nonrelativistic guiding center motion of a charged particle in a static magnetic field is derived using the Hamiltonian formalism. By repeated application of first-order canonical perturbation theory, the first two adiabatic invariants and their averaged Hamiltonians are obtained, including the first-order correction terms. Other features of guiding center theory are also given, including lowest order drifts and the flux invariant.
