Analytical description for field-line wandering in strong magnetic turbulence.
We investigate analytically the random walk of magnetic field lines. In previous analytical treatments of field line wandering or random walk, it was assumed that the turbulent magnetic field is much weaker than the mean field. In the present paper, we develop an improved analytical method to describe the stochastic properties of turbulent magnetic fields. This approach is an extension of the standard theory of field line wandering and can be applied to weak as well as to strong magnetic turbulence.
