- ed.
Results are reported for computer simulation experiments in which a statistical ensemble of random magnetic field realizations is generated, orbits of charged particles in the random fields are followed, and a pitch-angle diffusion coefficient is derived from the temporal evolution of the orbits. Diffusion coefficients predicted by three nonlinear theories are compared with the derived coefficients for the standard quasilinear theory of velocity diffusion, and the goals of future simulations are outlined.
