Abstract
A mechanism of cross field diffusion of plasma particles induced by the parallel electron heat flow is discussed. The diffusion coefficient in the disrupted magnetic field in tokamaks is estimated to have the Bohm-like dependence. Particles can diffuse much faster than streaming along field lines.
