Transport near stochastic threshold

Transport in a magnetic field configuration near stochastic threshold is investigated. The waiting time distribution near magnetic islands, and the size distribution of these islands are identified as the two fundamental functions which determine both the short time subdiffusive behavior, and the regular diffusive regime. These time and length distributions are studied, the mean square displacement is expressed in terms of these functions, and the result is compared to direct numerical simulation.
