Charged particles time-dependent transverse transport
Abstract
We discuss an analytical derivation for the temporal dependence of the transverse transport coefficient for times smaller than the correlation time of the magnetic turbulence, as seen by the particle, where the quasi-linear theory is not valid. The transverse transport is assumed to be dominated by the guiding center motion. Contributions of wavelengths shorter and longer than the coherence length to particle drift from the local magnetic field lines and to the magnetic field lines random walk are assessed for slab and 3D isotropic turbulence. Extensions of this model will allow for a study of solar wind physically motivated anisotropy.
