We study the exact phase space dynamics of relativistic test particles propagating in static one-dimensional Alfvén waves, modelling cosmic ray propagation in the interplanetary medium and in the interstellar medium. The result shows that the conventional approach should not be considered adequate to explain important features of particle propagation in Alfvén waves.
