Audience: Researchers in plasma physics.

Context: One of the most prominent motivations of this work is that there is recent research that suggests phase mixing (caused by particles streaming freely along magnetic field lines) in weakly collisional plasmas can be suppressed by turbulence. A good question is, does this effect also apply to phase mixing induced by magnetic drifts? To explore this nonlinear territory, a basic understanding of the physics in the linear regime is required.

Purpose: To answer relevant questions about magnetic drift phase mixing in the linear regime.

This is fine, MN. I always like learning about student project and research findings.
