Scientific paper

An improved version is presented of a recent investigation that attempted to measure the presence of interstellar pickup protons in the distant solar wind through their effects on the variations within pressure-balanced structures. The previous study's conclusion that the pickup protons, expected to be correlated with the solar wind density through the charge exchange ionization process, had become smeared in the radial direction is confirmed. It is proposed that quasi-linear diffusion of these energetic particles will produce the spatial uniformity inferred from the observations.
