Scientific paper

Understanding the mechanism by which energetic charged particles scatter and diffuse in collisionless plasma is an enduring fundamental problem of astrophysics. The study of this process in the solar wind provides vital opportunities for confronting theoretical models with direct observation. This talk will review recent advances in this field resulting from (1) an improved understanding of magnetic turbulence in the solar wind (especially relating to turbulence geometry), (2) the use of nonlinear methods in particle scattering theory, (3) increasingly realistic models of turbulence evolution and transport, and (4) detailed observations at far flung locations through the heliosphere (especially from Pioneer, Voyager, and Ulysses). Supported by NSF grant ATM-0000315.
