Description:
The propagation of energetic charged particles in the heliospheric magnetic field is one of the fundamental problems in heliophysics. It is described by Parker's transport equation, a differential equation to compute the temporal evolution of an isotropic particle distribution function under the influence of four basic physical processes: diffusion and drift in the heliospheric magnetic field, as well as convection and adiabatic energy changes in the solar wind. Especially the ...
