The quasi-linear theory of the particle diffusion coefficient including the finite Larmor radius effect and the mean radial electric field ( E r without shear) in a stochastic magnetic field is derived. The theory has been verified by comparing with test particle simulations and previous theory. It is found that E r can shift the wave-particle resonance position. The Er-shift effect mainly modifies the ion diffusion coefficients and leads to the modification of ion particle flux. By using the ambipolar condition, we obtained the balanced flux at the edge of a tokamak plasma and found good agreement with recent experimental observations.The quasi-linear theory of the particle diffusion coefficient including the finite Larmor radius effect and the mean radial electric field ( E r without shear) in a stochastic magnetic field is derived.
