Recently (Gleeson (1972), Quenby (1973), Gleeson and Webb (1974, 1978)) it has been shown that the mean rate of change of momentum of cosmic rays reckoned for a volume fixed in the solar system is
where G = (1/Up)(∂Up/∂r)si the cosmic-ray density gradient with Up, the differential number density with respect to momentum p at position r. (cf also the integral form of (1) by Jokipii and Parker 1967).
