| Abstract: | In this paper we discuss the particle flow or streaming and energy changes of cosmic rays in the interplanetary region via flow lines in momentum-position space. We consider the steady-state case where particles are released monoenergetically from the Sun or from infinity and study the cosmic-ray  traffic pattern in momentum and position arising from monoenergetic sources. The analysis makes extensive use of the result
(wherep is the particle momentum,V the solar wind velocity andG the cosmic-ray density gradient) for the mean time rate of change of momentum of cosmic rays reckoned for a fixed volume in a reference frame fixed in the solar system, developed by us in several recent papers.Deceased. |
