A Note on the Parallel Diffusion Coefficient
Abstract
The gradient-induced anisotropy and the parallel diffusion coefficient are related to the pitch-angle diffusion coefficient. The treatment is more complete than that given previously by Jokipii and by Hasselmann and Wibberenz in order to show the limits of applicability and the physical meaning of divergences resulting for certain types of magnetic-field spectra.
