The motion of energetic particles in magnetic turbulence across a mean magnetic field is explored analytically. The approach presented here allows for a full time-dependent description of the transport, including compound sub-diffusion. For the first time it is shown systematically that as soon as there is a transverse structure of the turbulence, diffusion is restored even if no Coulomb collisions are invoked. Criteria for sub-diffusion and normal Markovian diffusion are found as well.
