Abstract
To understand the mechanisms determining con.nement of energy and particles in toroidal plasmas, is one of the most prominent and ambiguous objectives of fusion research. There is a wide spectrum of different physical processes involved in plasma transport, ranging from the complexity of particle trajectories in three-dimensional magnetic con.gurations over kinetic effects related to the particle distribution functions to the wide field of plasma turbulence. This chapter aims to give an overview and an intuitive understanding of the various approaches.
