Notes:
The kinetic equation for a plasma in a stochastic electromagnetic helical field is constructed and studied. The kinetic equation contains an additional term, proportional to the helicity. The evolution of the main moments of the distribution function is considered. A solution describing the evolution of the distribution function for arbitrary initial conditions is found and possible consequences of presence of the helicity term are discussed. A model example is considered when a single-momentum electron beam with an inhomogeneous velocity profile creates a new particle flow in the transverse direction, so that the resulting flow also possesses the helicity.
