Conditions for the emergence of chaotic orbit of low energy positrons are numerically calculated in a compact dipole trap for use in positron and electron-positron plasma experiments. Due to its relatively weak field strength and existence of magnetic null line near the confinement region, coupling between gyro and bounce motions is pronounced even for low energy particles in this trapping geometry. Breakdown of first and second adiabatic invariants and the resultant non-integrable chaotic motion are realized for positrons with kinetic energy below the order of 10 eV. This kinetic energy value is two orders of magnitude smaller than the threshold value for a chaotic orbit in the Ring Trap-1 (RT-1) experiment. The stochastic long orbit is potentially applicable for e ffi cient injection and compression schemes of positrons in a compact levitated dipole experiment.
