Abstract:
The propagation of energetic particles in the interplanetary space is considered on the basis of kinetic equation describing
the scattering of charged particles by magnetic irregularities and the particle focusing by regular magnetic field. Our analysis
confirms that angular distribution of solar cosmic rays contains a valuable information about properties of the particle scattering
in the interplanetary magnetic field. Steady state solutions of the kinetic equation are applied to the analysis of solar
proton events.
