The correlation is investigated between the percent amplitude of the diurnal cosmic-ray variation and the intensity of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). Values of the correlation factor are computed for several time periods, and all the maxima are shown to be very high and physically significant as well as to be accompanied by time lags of as much as three days with respect to occurrences of maxima in the IMF intensity. It is concluded that cosmic-ray particles collimate along the IMF force lines until they interact with scattering centers always present in the field, and that the time lags are probably due to the time necessary for the particles to come to equilibrium with the IMF.
