E. ; Scholer, M. Abstract The problem of cosmic-ray transport in supernova remnants (SNRs) is discussed under the assumption that wave-particle interaction is parasitic, i.e., the waves produced by the cosmic-ray streaming can be neglected. Calculations of the maximum 'active age' of SNRs (i.e., the time during which the initially excited wave activity dies down) show that appreciable post-acceleration of cosmic rays may be possible, which in turn may lead to a replenishment of low-energy cosmic rays that otherwise are lost through ionization of the interstellar medium. Transport coefficients in coordinate and energy space are calculated in a realistic SNR model using the most plausible assumptions about wave activity and wave-particle interaction. This allows a quantitative determination of energy losses and gains to be made as a function of cosmic-ray rigidity.
