Planar Motion of Charged Particles in a Magnetic Dipole Field

We consider the system of Newton-Lorentz equations describing the planar non-relativistic motion of a charged particle of unit mass in a transverse magnetic dipole field.
Actually, this system belongs to the class of dynamical systems of two degrees
of freedom whose integrability in the Liouville-Arnold sense is studied in [1].
The magnitude of magnetic dipole field depends only on the distance from the
origin and therefore (see [2]), the corresponding Newton-Lorentz system is
integrable by quadratures since it possesses two functionally independent
integrals of motion. In the present work, the techniques developed by the authors
in [1, 2] are used to represent the trajectories of the particles in explicit
analytic form in terms of Jacobian elliptic functions.
