Spurious contribution to CR scattering calculations

preprint2004arXivOpen access

Abstract

The quasilinear theory for cosmic ray propagation is a well known and widely accepted theory. In this paper, we discuss the different contributions to the pitch-angle Fokker-Planck coefficient from large and small scales for slab geometry using the damping model of dynamical turbulence. These examinations will give us a hint on the limitation range where quasilinear approximation is a good approximation.
