A class of explicit symmetric multistep methods is proposed for integrating the equations of motion of charged particles in an electro-magnetic field. The magnetic forces are built into these methods in a special way that respects the Lagrangian structure of the problem. It is shown that such methods approximately preserve energy and momentum over very long times, proportional to a high power of the inverse stepsize. We explain this behaviour by studying the modified differential equation of the methods and by analysing the remarkably stable propagation of parasitic solution components.
