Detailed Description

Defines a helical path

A Helix is defined by the cyclotron frequency \( \omega_c \), the initial Point r0 and the velocity vectors \( \vec{v}_{\parallel} \) and \( \vec{v}_{\perp} \) denoting the projections of the initial velocity \( \vec{v}_0 \) parallel and perpendicular to the axis \( \vec{B} \), respectively, i.e.

\begin{align*} \vec{v}_{\parallel} &= \frac{\vec{v}_0 \cdot \vec{B}}{\vec{B}^2} \vec{B} \\ \vec{v}_{\perp} &= \vec{v}_0 - \vec{v}_{\parallel} \end{align*}
