We have developed a Monte-Carlo technique to study the time-dependent transport of energetic particles in the interplanetary medium. We use the guiding center approximation between discrete finite pitch-angle scatterings to quantify the competing effects of focusing and pitch-angle scattering on energetic particles propagating along a Parker spiral magnetic field. The problem is formulated in terms of the parallel mean-free-path (λ ∥ ) and the distance traveled along a particle trajectory (s), so using the relation s=vt the results can be easily converted to time-intensity profiles and particle anisotropies observed at various distances from the Sun for electrons, protons and ions of different species. The effects from the presence of a reflecting (mirroring) magnetic boundary beyond 1 AU are discussed and compared with the effects that differential pitch-angle scattering processes produce on ions of different species and energies. The work at APL was partially supported by NASA under grant NAG5-10787. The work at DAM/UB was supported by DGYCT under contract AYA-2001-3304.
