Abstract: The propagation of solar cosmic rays in the interplanetary space is considered based on the kinetic equation. The expression for cosmic ray density under instantaneous particle injection by point-like source is obtained. The set of differential equations for harmonics of cosmic ray distribution function is obtained starting from kinetic equation. The cosmic ray transport equation, taking into account the presence of the second harmonic of particle angular distribution, is derived and the solution of this equation is obtained. |
