Observed CR pitch-angle diffusion matches quasi-slab fast-mode turbulence predictions shaped by damping, but not Alfvénic turbulence, evidencing fast-mode dominance and constraining LISM to low beta ≈0.1 with δB/B0 ≈0.5.

Pitch-Angle Scattering of Cosmic Rays: Confronting Theory with Observations
Observed CR pitch-angle diffusion matches quasi-slab fast-mode turbulence predictions shaped by damping, but not Alfvénic turbulence, evidencing fast-mode dominance and constraining LISM to low beta ≈0.1 with δB/B0 ≈0.5.
