Conclusions
UBK is a 4-D method, the simplest system able to describe magnetospheric convection
UBK then is ideal for inner mag plasma at 0 < E < MeV conserving the first 2 invariants
UBK straightens trajectories, helping intuition
UBK has separable coordinates for diffusion and convection avoiding confusion.
UBK permits a Hamiltonian perturbation expansion => trivial calculation of diffusion
Applications: Jupiter. Heliosphere. Cusp!
