Abstract
We have demonstrated in Chaps. 12 and 13 that the quasilinear cosmic ray transport parameters in a given astrophysical system are determined by the statistical properties of the electromagnetic fluctuations in this system, expressed through the correlation tensors of the electric and magnetic field fluctuations (12.2.6). If these electromagnetic fluctuations can be identified with normal low-frequency plasma wave modes and/or exhibit certain symmetry properties with respect to the uniform background magnetic field, the calculation of the cosmic ray transport parameters simplifies enormously under the diffusion approximation, as shown in Chap. 13.
