Abstract
We use the general Fokker–Planck coefficients derived in the first paper of this series, which describe the interaction of energetic charged particles with weak plasma turbulence in a magnetized plasma, to calculate the mean free path λ of cosmic-ray particles along the uniform background magnetic field. This quantity is a key parameter for confining energetic charged particles in cosmic plasmas, and can be experimentally inferred from interplanetary in-situ observations of solar particle events
