Abstract
The solutions of equations characterizing the dynamics of charged particles in electromagnetic Penning–Malmberg traps with a rotating transverse electric field are presented and analyzed. The equations of motion are transformed in a way that makes it possible to distinguish between the motions of magnetron and cyclotron particles, reduce the system of equations to a stationary one, and conclude that asymptotically Lyapunov stable solutions of these equations are lacking in a certain parameter interval. This allows one to optimize the confinement of charged particles in such traps.
