Scientific paper

Formulas for the diffusion coefficient and the transport path length of cosmic ray particles are obtained from a kinetic equation with a nonlinear quadratic (with respect to the Green function) collision term. The formulas allow for strong small-scale random scattering to a mean angle of the order of 1 at a single magnetic inhomogeneity. It is shown that the solar wind velocity contributes significantly to the energy dependence of the transport path length in the case of low particle energies.
