Pitch-angle scattering in pure two-dimensional and two-component turbulence

Year: 2008

Type: article

Abstract: Aims. It has been demonstrated that quasilinear theory is inappropriate for describing pitch-angle scattering and parallel spatial diffusion, if a turbulence model with a strong two-dimensional component is assumed. We aim to revisit this problem using a more systematic and reliable approach.
