Particle Acceleration at the Sun and in the Heliosphere
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare different populations of the sources and learn more about the sources, and about the physics of acceleration and transport, than we can possibly learn from one source alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Propagation of cosmic rays in the solar wind
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a coherent exposition of the modern statistical theory of the transport of fast charged particles (cosmic rays) in the solar wind, showing that the dominant effect on the motion of cosmic rays is the interplanetary magnetic field, which is irregular and which is best treated statistically, using random functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solar modulation of galactic cosmic rays, 2
TL;DR: A brief description of the basic principles of and techniques which are used for describing the behavior of galactic cosmic rays in the solar wind is given in this article, where several numerical examples which illustrate features of the cosmic-ray behavior are presented.
The interaction of the solar wind with the interstellar medium
TL;DR: In this paper, the expected characteristics of the solar wind, extrapolated from the vicinity of the earth, were described and several models were examined for the interaction of solar wind with the interstellar plasma and magnetic field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cosmic ray propagation in interplanetary space
TL;DR: In this paper, it is argued that the spatial-diffusion equation for the intensity per unit energy has a much wider range of applicability than the kinetic (Fokker-Planck) equation it is derived from.
