Abstract
Plasma diffusion due to static, nonaxisymmetric perturbations of magnetic or electric field is analyzed in the low collision-frequency region. The diffusion coefficient is found to be proportional to the fraction of the particles with slow drift, and can significantly exceed classical diffusion.Keywords
