- Summary
- A Hamiltonian formalism is developed for the drift orbit trajectories of particles in toroidal systems in the presence of stochastic fields. The equations of motion are integrated numerically to investigate the modification of neoclassical diffusion in a Tokamak due to the onset of stochasticity. Quasilinear diffusion is observed for fields with well developed stochasticity. A significant increase in the diffusion coefficient is observed below the stochastic threshold for electrons, whereas ions are typically not affected until the magnetic field has become quite stochastic.
