Parallel and Perpendicular Transport of Heliospheric Cosmic Rays in an Improved Dynamical Turbulence Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
By applying a new model for the dynamical magnetic turbulence, we calculate parallel and perpendicular mean free paths of heliospheric cosmic rays. The results are compared with different observations and previous theoretical calculations. It is the main conclusion of this paper that we can achieve agreement between theory and observations if we employ realistic turbulence parameters. Motivated by previous work, we also discuss nonlinear effects in cosmicray transport theory. Subject headingg: cosmic rays — diffusion — turbulence

Cosmic Ray Propagation: Nonlinear Diffusion Parallel and Perpendicular to Mean Magnetic Field
We consider the propagation of cosmic rays in turbulent magnetic fields. We use the models of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence that were tested in numerical simulations, in which the turbulence is injected on large scale and cascades to small scales. Our attention is focused on the models of the strong turbulence, but we also briefly discuss the effects that the weak turbulence and the slab Alfvé...
متن کاملStochastic simulation of cosmic ray modulation including a wavy heliospheric current sheet
[1] We present a quasi-steady two-dimensional (axisymmetric) model of the heliospheric transport of galactic cosmic rays. The model is based on stochastic simulation techniques and includes all the modulation mechanisms that cosmic rays experience in the heliosphere: convection, adiabatic cooling, diffusion, and drifts. A special emphasis is given to the cosmic ray transport in the vicinity of ...
متن کاملLong-term Cosmic-ray Modulation in the Heliosphere
A time-dependent model based on a numerical solution of Parker’s transport equation is used to model the modulation of cosmic-ray protons, electrons, and helium for full 11 year and 22 year modulation cycles using a compound approach. This approach incorporates the concept of propagating diffusion barriers, increases in the heliospheric magnetic field as they propagate from the Sun throughout t...
متن کاملTurbulence and particle acceleration in collisionless supernovae remnant shocks II- Cosmic-ray transport
Supernovae remnant shock waves could be at the origin of cosmic rays up to energies in excess of the knee (E ≃ 3 · 10 eV) if the magnetic field is efficiently amplified by the streaming of accelerated particles in the shock precursor. This paper follows up on a previous paper (Pelletier et al 2006) which derived the properties of the MHD turbulence so generated, in particular its anisotropic ch...
متن کاملDiffusion and drift of cosmic rays in highly turbulent magnetic fields
We determine numerically the parallel, perpendicular, and antisymmetric diffusion coefficients for charged particles propagating in highly turbulent magnetic fields, by means of extensive Monte Carlo simulations. We propose simple expressions, given in terms of a small set of fitting parameters, to account for the diffusion coefficients as functions of magnetic rigidity and turbulence level, an...
