Scientific paper

A new method to calculate the mean free paths of energetic particles propagating parallel and anti-parallel to the interplanetary magnetic field, based on quasi-linear theory and the complex spectral polarization analysis of the field, is developed and presented. Applications of the method using HEOS 2 (1 AU), Pioneer 10 (5 AU), Pioneer 11 (20 AU), international cometary explorer (ICE) (Giacobini -- Zinner's comet) data have been made, showing that: (a) The mean free paths parallel and anti-parallel to the field can be complely different in various regions of the interplanetary medium and different time periods. (b) Particles are preferentially scattered in one direction. (c) The parallel and anti-parallel mean free paths become equal at certain energy. Comparisons with the results from another computational method are made.
