Abstract
The radial intensity-gradient of cosmic-ray protons has been calculated for a range of values of the distance to the boundary of a spherically symmetric solar-modulation region. We find that the radial dependence of the gradients may be described in terms of two characteristic domains of the modulation region: (a) an "inner region" where the gradients are relatively small and constant, and (b), an "outer region"' where the gradients are large and show a strong radial dependence. The magnitude of the gradient in the inner region is small for reasonable values for the physical parameters of the modulation mechanism.
