Scientific paper

It is shown that there is a simpler way to derive the average guiding centre drift of a distribution of particles than via the so-called "single particle" analysis. Based on this derivation it is shown that the entire drift formalism can be considerably simplified, and that results for low order anisotropies are more generally valid than is usually appreciated. This drift analysis leads to a natural alternative derivation of the drift velocity along a neutral sheet.
