Scientific paper

The energy deposited collisionally by mildly-relativistic, nonthermal protons as they travel away from a spatially localized acceleration region is studied. Results for energy deposition by monodirectional protons in a medium of homogeneous magnetic field are generalized to the case where the protons have a range of pitch angles and traverse a region of spatially varying magnetic field. The possibility of multiple traversals of protons in a region contained between two regions of field strengthening is also considered. By way of illustration, the results are applied to proton energy deposition in the solar atmosphere.
