Abstract

The scattering of charged particles as they pass through areas of the interplanetary magnetic field with large-scale inhomogeneities (magnetic clouds) is studied using the Monte Carlo method and the numerical simulation of trajectories. Charged particles (protons) with energies ranging from 1 to 100 GeV in magnetic clouds with sizes of 0.01–0.1 a.u. and magnetic flux densities of 5 to 50 nT are modeled. It is established that an important factor in determining the nature of galactic cosmic ray scattering is the relationship between the Larmor radii of particles, the size of a magnetic cloud, and the degree of magnetic field inhomogeneity.
