Numerical study of solar flare particle propagation in the heliosphere
1981
Abstract Numerical solutions are presented for the propagation of solar cosmic rays interplanetary space, including the effects of pitch-angle scattering and adiabatic focusing. The intensity-time profiles can be well fitted by a simple radial spatial diffusion equation with scattering mean-free path λ fit . For low-rigidity particles the radial mean-free path so obtained is significantly larger than the mean-free path calculated from the scattering coefficient due to the inapplicability of the diffusive approximation early in the event. The well-known discrepency between λ fit and the theoretical predictions may be resolved by these calculations.
