Scientific paper

We have given a rigorous derivation of a theorem showing that charged particles in an arbitrary electromagnetic field with at least one ignorable spatial coordinate remain forever tied to a given magnetic-field line. Such a situation contrasts the significant motions normal to the magnetic field that are expected in most real three-dimensional systems. While the significance of the theorem was not widely appreciated until recently, it has important consequences for a number of problems and is of particular relevance for the acceleration of cosmic rays by shocks.
