Abstract

Instabilities of the flute-like magnetic fluctuations in the presence of radiation cooling in a non-uniform magnetoplasma are investigated. It is shown that magnetic turbulence can cause anomalous cross-field electron energy transport. The relevance of the investigation to magnetic and inertial fusion as well as to astrophysical plasmas is pointed out.
