We reconsider a control theory for Hamiltonian systems, that was introduced on the basis of KAM theory and applied to a model of magnetic field in previous articles. By a combination of Frequency Analysis and of a rigorous (Computer Assisted) KAM algorithm we prove that in the phase space of the magnetic field, due to the control term, a set of invariant tori appear, and it acts as a transport barrier. Our analysis, which is common (but often also limited) to Celestial Mechanics, is based on a…

It is shown that a relevant control of Hamiltonian chaos is possible through suitable small perturbations whose form can be explicitly computed, and suggests that some strategy to control turbulent transport in magnetized plasmas, in particular, tokamaks, is conceivable.
