Cosmic-ray Diffusion

Cosmic-Ray Diffusion is a theoretical framework in astrophysics that describes the stochastic propagation of high-energy cosmic-ray particles through turbulent interstellar magnetic fields, distinguished from other transport mechanisms by its reliance on spatial and momentum-space diffusion coefficients derived from particle-scattering processes.
