Abstract:
The purpose of this report is to present various factors affecting striation decay as well as to indicate their significance in terms of possible time scales for striation decay and spatial structuring of striations. In the second section mechanisms affecting sinking of ionization both parallel and perpendicular to B are presented and time scales estimated. In the third section diffusion due to one type of plasma turbulence is presented as well as ordinary collisional diffusion. Some aspects of the interplay of diffusion with spatial structure and striation evolution are shown. These are used to assess the dependence of decay on diffusion coefficient as well as to infer the possibility of plasma turbulence diffusion in observational situations. In the fourth section our results are summarized both as to decay and spatial structuring of striations.
