Abstract: Self-diffusion through dense classical one-component plasmas in a uniform magnetic field is studied by means of renormalized kinetic theory. Extensions of the Landau and the Rostoker equations to plasmas of high density are derived. The coefficient of self-diffusion along the magnetic field is evaluated from the 1-Sonine approximation of the Landau kernel. The results show how the diffusion process is gradually impeded as the magnetic field strength increases.
