Scientific paper

The theory of two-dimensional random walk is applied to the problem of guiding center diffusion of kilovolt electrons caused by particle-particle interactions. The means radius of the guiding center distribution is shown to depend, in a simple way, on the scattering and energy loss properties of the interactions. A formula for the width of an artificial auroral steak is derived which is consistent with observations and Monte Carlo results.
