Abstract

A quantum-mechanical treatment of the power absorption of ICR ions based on a minimized wavepacket-approach is presented. With the aid of minimum wavepackets constructed using the exact wavefunctions for the ion motions in a homogeneous magnetic field, the power absorption of the ions in cyclotron resonance has been treated within the framework of the linear response theory. The result agrees with that obtained according to the projection-operator formalism.
