AbstractAbstract
[en] Within the framework of the quasi-linear approximation, the hybrid diffusion process due to the bounce-drift resonance interaction between trapped particles and low-frequency field fluctuations is examined. The diffusion coefficients obtained, which are valid for particles with large pitch angles, cover the previous results in a few limiting cases. In general, the diffusion coefficients depend strongly on the spatial structure of the power spectrum along field lines, as well as the frequency dependence. The relative importance of the radial diffusion and field-aligned acceleration for ring-current particles is discussed. It is shown that the field-aligned acceleration exceeds the inward penetration of the particles near the plasmapause. (Auth.)
