Abstract: The propagation of solar cosmic rays in the interplanetary space is considered based on the solution of Fokker-Planck equation in the small-angle approximation. The particle source is assumed to be instantaneous and point-like. The spatial and temporal distributions of energetic particle density during the anisotropic phase of solar cosmic ray enhancement are studied. The prolonged particle injection in the interplanetary medium is also discussed. |
| Keywords: cosmic rays, diffusion, kinetic equation, magnetic fields |
