Top row: one-dimensional probability density distributions of the magnetic field strength in the direction parallel to the mean magnetic field, B. Second row: the same but for the perpendicular component, B). Third row: the parallel component of the CR flux, F. Fourth row: the perpendicular component of the CR flux, F. All variables have been nondimensionalized by the thermal velocities, cs, and mean plasma densities, ρ0. The columns show sub-, trans-, and super-Aflvénic runs, from left to right. The color indicates the value of the microphysical CR diffusion coefficient compared to the turbulent diffusion, Pmc (see Equation (15)), with a pure MHD simulation (no CRs) being run and shown in red.
