Scientific paper

We present test particle simulations of particle diffusion in strongly turbulent magnetic fields. The simulations track particles' guiding center motion both parallel and perpendicular to the magnetic field. We include the effects of pitch-angle scattering, magnetic mirrors, particle drift motion. We also compare the simulation results with theory, and apply our results to two astrophysical problems: electron heat transport in galaxy-cluster plasmas and cosmic-ray propagation in the galaxy.
