Parallel and perpendicular diffusion coefficients of energetic charged particles with adiabatic focusing
Abstract
It is very important to understand stochastic diffusion of energetic charged particles in non-uniform background magnetic field in plasmas of astrophysics and fusion devices. Using different methods considering along-field adiabatic focusing effect, various authors derived parallel diffusion coefficient and its correction to , where is the parallel diffusion coefficient without adiabatic focusing effect. In this paper, using the improved perturbation method developed by He \& Schlickeiser and iteration process, we obtain a new correction to . Furthermore, by employing the isotropic pitch-angle scattering model , we find that has the different sign as that of . In this paper the spatial perpendicular diffusion coefficient with the adiabatic focusing effect is also obtained.
