Abstract

The influence of weak electrostatic perturbations on the trajectories of circulating particles in a tokamak magnetic field is analyzed. The parameters of the trajectories calculated in the drift approximation allow one to determine the spatial scale of diffusion. The resonant interaction between particles and waves is considered. The possibility of the emergence of collisionless diffusion in the strong turbulence regime is analyzed.
