Final test particle energy spectra for various scattering models. In all cases 5 × 105 test particle orbits are calculated, then each orbit is weighted in proportion to the local density at the initial position of the orbit to ensure the initial energy distribution is a Maxwellian at T = 106 K, and that the initial pitch angle cosine distribution is uniform. Section 4.1 shows the initial conditions of the simulations. In panels a and b we set α = 0 and vary the value of κ, whereas in panel c we take κ = ηsp/ηa and vary α. Panel d shows the spectra from panel b between 1 and 100 keV.
