Abstract
Based on numerical solutions of the focused transport equation we study the question whether pitch angle diffusion coefficients calculated from various suggested mod els for wave-particle interactions and different assumptions about the nature of magnetic fluctuations in the solar wind can lead to mea- surable differences in observables such as the rigidity dependence of the mean free path and the angular distributions of solar particles.Keywords
