Alfvénic turbulence driven temperature anisotropies of thermal non-equilibrium ions

Kasper et al. have found that solar-wind helium could be heated to be nearly 7 times hotter than hydrogen on average from the observation of the Wind spacecraft. The stochastic Fermi mechanism is employed to investigate this phenomenon via the ion-cyclotron resonant process (Kasper J. C. et al., Phy...
