Cosmic rays impacting a spacecraft have already passed through and interacted with the turbulent solar wind surrounding the spacecraft; therefore, they carry information on the detailed structure of the turbulence. In particular, the simple unlagged correlation between the magnetic fluctuations and fluctuations of the cosmic ray flux, first discussed by Bieb er [1987], can potentially provide unique information on the detailed nature of interplanetary magnetic turbulence. Starting with the Vlasov equation, sub ject to the usual quasilinear approximations, we derive the leading-order approximation of the particle-field correlation for a general turbulent geometry, including non-axisymmetric turbulence, in a plasma flowing in an arbitrary direction with respect to the average magnetic field.
