Diffusion in a stochastic magnetic field

Abstract

We consider a stochastic differential equation for a charged particle in a stochastic magnetic field, known as A-Langevin equation. The solution of the equation is found, and the Lagrange velocity correlation function is calculated in Corrsin approximation. A corresponding diffusion constant is estimated. We observe different transport regimes, such as quasilinear- or Bohm-type diffusion, depending on the parameters of plasma.
