Stochastic island generation and influence on the effective transport in stochastic magnetic fields

Plasma Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The transport of collisional particles in stochastic magnetic fields is studied using the decorrelation trajectory method. The nonlinear effect of stochastic generation of magnetic island by magnetic line trapping is considered together with particle collisions. The running diffusion coefficient is determined for arbitrary values of the statistical parameters of the stochastic magnetic field and of the collisional velocity. The effect of the stochastic magnetic islands is analysed.
