Turbulent Transport and Heating of Trace Heavy Ions in Hot Magnetized Plasmas

Scaling laws for the transport and heating of trace heavy ions in low-frequency magnetized plasma turbulence are derived and compared with direct numerical simulations. The predicted dependences of turbulent fluxes and heating on ion charge and mass number are found to agree with numerical results f...
