Scientific paper

The results are presented of a careful study of finite-difference solutions to the problem of cosmic-ray transport, including pitch-angle scattering. In contrast to some recent studies, the diffusion approximation is confirmed in cases where the scattering mean free path is small compared with other length scales. The reasons for the discrepancy with the conclusions of Gombosi and Owens are discussed.
