On heating of solar wind protons by the parametric decay of large-amplitude Alfvén waves
<p>By three-dimensional hybrid simulations, proton heating is investigated starting from a monochromatic large-amplitude Alfvén wave with left-handed circular polarization launched along the mean magnetic field in a low-beta plasma. We find that the perpendicular scattering is efficient in thr...
