Abstract
The role of the Aharonov-Bohm effect is analyzed for the bound states of a charged particle in the superposition of two fields: A uniform magnetic field plus the vector potential of a solenoid. Exact solutions are given for a solenoid of zero size and the corrections due to finite size are discussed. It is shown that a series of new resonances appear in the spectrum, dependent on the flux quantum number $f=\frac{e\ensuremath{\Phi}}{\mathrm{hc}}$. The fundamental betatron resonance remains narrow and unshifted for solenoid radii large enough to broaden and shift the cyclotron resonance.
