Magnetosonic polarization in synthetic turbulence produces field-line diffusion scaling as (δB/B)^4 with subdiffusion matching MHD simulations, unlike the (δB/B)^2 scaling for random polarization.

abstract
We give a rigorous derivation of a theorem showing that charged particles in an arbitrary electromagnetic field with at least one ignorable spatial coordinate remain forever tied to a given magnetic-field line. Such a situation contrasts the significant motions normal to the magnetic field that are expected in most real three-dimensional systems. It is pointed out that, while the significance of the theorem has not been widely appreciated, it has important consequences for a number of problems and is of particular relevance for the acceleration of cosmic rays by shocks.

Polarized 3D Synthetic Turbulence I: Magnetic Field Line Random Walk
Magnetosonic polarization in synthetic turbulence produces field-line diffusion scaling as (δB/B)^4 with subdiffusion matching MHD simulations, unlike the (δB/B)^2 scaling for random polarization.
