Abstract
An enhanced Bohm-like diffusion across a magnetic field observed in a germanium plasma near thermal equilibrium can be interpreted in terms of vortex diffusion due to plasma convections which are thermally excited. Both theoretical analysis and numerical simulation show good agreement with the experimental observations.Keywords
