Abstract

The aim of this paper is to calculate, in a new manner, a general expression for the anomalous particle flux due to electromagnetic turbulence, including the parallel components of the magnetic field fluctuations. The calculus of the flux uses the anomalous distribution function defined as the difference between the total distribution function and the neoclassical one. Besides the well known low-beta result, we also obtain the transport flux induced by parallel (to the equilibrium magnetic fields) fluctuations. Comparing the different components of the anomalous radial particle flux we specify the conditions when the effect of parallel fluctuations can be important.
