Abstract: The velocity of a passive particle in a one-dimensional wave field is shown to converge in law to a Wiener process, in the limit of a dense wave spectrum with independent complex amplitudes, where the random phases distribution is invariant modulo $pi/2$ and the power spectrum expectation is uniform. The proof provides a full probabilistic foundation to the quasilinear approximation in this limit. The result extends to an arbitrary number of particles, founding the use of the ensemble picture for their behaviour in a single realization of the stochastic wave field.

Review text

The author first considers a single charged particle motion in composed one-dimensional wave fields and then generalizes the results to a system of \(N\) particles. In some special cases, the particle velocity is shown to follow a Wiener process in the limit of the dense wave spectrum. The proof gives a full probabilistic foundation to the quasi-linear approximation in this domain. The extension of this result to an arbitrary number of particles reveals the possibility that the ensemble picture can be applied as approximation in a single realization of the stochastic wave field.
