Kinetic-hybrid Simulations of Counterpropagating Ion Cyclotron Waves and Proton Scattering in the Near-Sun Solar Wind

Ion cyclotron waves (ICWs) are prevalent in the near-Sun solar wind and play a significant role in the nonadiabatic heating of plasma. Recent observations from the Parker Solar Probe have revealed the simultaneous presence of antisunward and sunward ICWs in the vicinity of the Alfvén surface. Howeve...
