Scientific paper

The paper discusses the particle flow or streaming and energy changes of cosmic rays in the interplanetary region via flow lines in momentum-position space. The steady-state case is considered where particles are released monoenergetically from the sun or from infinity, and the cosmic-ray 'traffic pattern' in momentum and position arising from monoenergetic sources studied. The analysis makes use of an expression for the particle momentum in terms of the solar wind velocity and the cosmic-ray density gradient. The expression relates to the mean time rate of change of momentum of cosmic rays calculated for a fixed volume in a reference frame fixed in the solar system.
