Description

The electron test particle cross-field diffusion due to thermally excited magnetostatic modes with ergodic field lines is investigated. Estimate shows that in mirror-confined plasmas, the electron transport (and hence the electron thermal conduction) caused by the magnetostatic mode exceeds the convective as well as the classical transport
