Variations in the intensity and anisotropy of solar-cosmic-ray protons with energies of 1 to 4.5 MeV and electrons with energies of 40 to 500 keV, which variations occur near IMF sector boundaries, are examined on the basis of data obtained by the Prognoz 1, 2, and 3 satellites. It is found that when a sector boundary is crossed, particle intensity experiences a sharp decrease, this decrease is different for particles moving in different directions, and the particle anisotropy undergoes a substantial variation (22% on average) right down to negative values. The mean lifetime of such anisotropy is estimated to be of the order of 8 hr. It is concluded that as a rule, sector boundaries separate regions of space characterized by different particle diffusion coefficients.
