Pitch-angle diffusion coefficients in test particle simulations and the estimation of the particle parallel mean free path

Abstract: The transport of energetic charged particles in turbulent magnetic fields is a topic of interest in various astrophysical contexts. In order to estimate the mean free path of a particle in the direction parallel to the mean magnetic field, one can use theoretical expressions that employ pitch-angle diffusion coefficients. In this work we review some of the methods used in estimating pitch-angle diffusion coefficients from test particle computer simulations. We examine if these methods and theoretical approache… Show more
