Abstract

The transport of energetic charged particles in fluctuating magnetic fields is analysed by means of the Fokker-Planck equation for the early time, when the diffusive modes are not yet valid. Exact solutions are found for the particle fluxes integrated over space; after these have reached a time-independent final steady state, the usually considered diffusive modes of the velocity-integrated density become valid. The time for that is finite. The analysis is done both for a constant and a divergent mean magnetic field.
