AB  - Using a framework of the radiation approximation followed 
  by a two-term perturbation expansion for cosmic ray transport in the spherical 
  polar coordinates (r, θ, φ) researchers identify the effect of cosmic ray 
  radiation on shock dominated transport. When the buoyancy parameter F<SUB>r</SUB> 
  is negligible, researchers find that the cosmic ray density at shock boundary 
  (E<SUB>n</SUB>) decreases with increasing temperature. It is also observed that 
  the variation of radiation parameter N in cosmic ray transport has no significant 
  effect in the temperature distribution. Thus, even when radiation is significant, 
  it does not really modify the temperature within the cosmic ray region. However, 
  for increases in the density at shock boundaries say (En), the temperature distribution 
  decreases.
