Guiding-center polarization and magnetization effects in gyrokinetic theory

Abstract

Higher-order guiding-center polarization and magnetization effects are introduced in gyrokinetic theory by keeping first-order terms in background magnetic-field nonuniformity. These results confirm the consistency of the two-step perturbation analysis used in modern gyrokinetic theory.
