Description
The linear plasma response to an electrostatic wave is described by the Van Kampen--Case--Siewert (VCS) modal structure using Lie transform techniques. The VCS structure, which is well known to give rise to Landau damping, is also proved to be responsible for chaotic particle response and diffusion in phase space in the quasilinear limit
