We present a derivation of both anisotropic and isotropic transport equations of energetic particles in three dimensions including magnetic forcusing effect in inhomogeneous heliospheric magnetic fields, cross-field diffusion, and particle adiabatic cooling effect. To study solar energetic particles transport it is essential to have an anisotropic transport equation, but the anisotropic transport equation used by the community is only in one dimension. A 3-dimensional anisotropic transport equation may become necessary for the study of solar energetic particle propagation when there is a significant cross-field transport which is particularly true for later stage of SEP events. In cosmic ray modulation work, on the other hand, three dimensional isotropic transport equation is used by the community, but in the equation there is no forcusing effect. It is found that the forcusing effect may play a significant role in cosmic ray modulation even under the diffusion approximation. We plan to calculate solar energetic particles transport and make comparison with latest observational data from spacecraft.
