Abstract

The transport of charged particles across a strong magnetic field with a small random component is studied in the double diffusion approximation. It is shown that the density of the particles whose initial distribution is stretched along the field satisfies a subdiffusion equation with fractional derivatives. A more general initial particle distribution is also considered, and the applicability of the solutions obtained is discussed.
