Abstract
Micro-instabilities are shown to play a dominant role in the diffusion of cosmic rays through the interstellar plasma. Some implications of this are considered, including possible explanations for the ‘ break ’ in the cosmic ray energy spectrum at around 10 15 eV, and for the ‘ two-component ’ model.Keywords
