Description
A fundamental problem in Space Science and
Astrophysics is the interaction between energetic
particles and a turbulent plasma. We have developed a
test-particle code to simulate the interaction of charged particles with turbulent magnetic fields. Diffusion coefficients along and across the mean magnetic field
are calculated and compared to different analytical
theories. Different turbulence models where considered such as slab, 2D, composite, and isotropic geometries. We have also included wave propagation effects via the interaction with shear Alfv$\acute{e}$n waves. We explored the transport regimes
in which the Bohm limit and the quasi-linear limit are valid. We have also shown that the so-called Unified Non-linear Transport Theory (UNLT) is indeed a strong tool for calculating perpendicular transport upon agreement with numerical simulations.
