Extreme Heating of Minor Ions in Imbalanced Solar-wind Turbulence by Michael F. Zhang, Matthew W. Kunz, Jonathan Squire, Kristopher G. Klein

“…We use the hybrid-kinetic particle-in-cell code Pegasus++ to drive imbalanced Alfvénic turbulence in a 3D low- β plasma with additional passive ion species, He ^2+ and O ^5+ . A helicity barrier naturally develops, followed by clear phase-space signatures of oblique proton-cyclotron-wave heating and Landau-resonant heating from the imbalanced Alfvénic fluctuations. …”
