ABSTRACT
Ion heating due to turbulent AlfvÃ©n waves via nonresonant wave-particle interaction is discussed to complement a preceding work. We claim that newborn ions can get extra energy from turbulent AlfvÃ©n waves. Since in plasmas newborn ions are created continuously and intrinsically via ionization and recombination, heating associated with these newborn ions may be significant. The heating rate is proportional to the creation rate of newborn ions and the total wave field energy density without dependence on the profile of the wave spectrum. Based on observed nonthermal velocities, we estimate the energy density of the wave field and the corresponding heating rate in the solar atmosphere. The results show that such a heating process could be significant in the upper chromosphere and transition region of the sun.

The Louvain-la-Neuve ECR ion source is used to ionize metallic radioactive elements like Be-7 (T1/2=53d) for postacceleration in its radioactive beam facility. Because of the minute quantities of primary material available, dedicated techniques had to be developed to inject the radioactive atoms...
