Charged-Particle Resonance Conditions and Transport Coefficients in Slab-Mode Waves

Vainio, R.

Transport of charged particles in cold plasma is considered. The full dispersion relation for slab-mode waves is employed, and the quasi-linear particle scattering is discussed. Previous results of the dispersive-wave model on the ion mean free path are recalled and further developed. For small cross-helicities, the model predicts ion mean free pa…
