Abstract
We investigate the motion of charged particles in a turbulent electrostatic potential using guiding-center theory. By increasing the Larmor radius, the dynamics exhibit close-to-ballistic transport properties. The transition from diffusive to ballistic transport is analyzed using nonlinear dynamics. It is found that twistless invariant tori in the guiding-center dynamics are responsible for this transition, drastically affecting transport properties of charged particles.
