Abstract
The motion of charged particles in complex magnetic field configurations is studied by aγ- curve method. The magnetic field simulator is described, and experimental results are given for the motion of electrons in the field of a current loop. It is shown that a current loop has toroidally shaped forbidden volumes and can capture particles in periodic orbits.
