Numerical integration of particle trajectories is performed to evaluate the statistical acceleration coefficients DTc for 1 to 100 MeV protons in a solar wind corotating interaction region (CIR) seen at 2.5 and 5.0 AU. Acceleration is followed in the solar wind reference frame and is due to random w
