Scientific paper

The propagation of energetic particles in a high-beta plasma is considered. It is shown that only particles with a momentum exceeding some minimum value can be confined at a streaming speed much less than the individual particle velocity by hydromagnetic turbulence. In particular, most energy electrons in moderately relativistic energies will stream along the magnetic field with a velocity close to the velocity of light. The relevant wave modes are discussed, and the results are applied to cosmic ray propagation, supernovae remnants and extragalactic radio sources.
