Main Results:

  • Identified center-of-mass and breathing modes independent of particle number.
  • Discovered "universal" modes with frequencies slightly dependent on particle number.
  • Showed these universal modes possess minimal vorticity and exhibit hydrodynamic behavior.

Conclusions:

  • The study elucidates the nature of universal modes in confined charged particle systems.
  • These modes offer insights into the transition from few-body to many-body behavior.
  • Hydrodynamic descriptions are applicable to universal modes with low vorticity.
