Abstract

Protons are the primary carriers of Alfvén waves in the solar wind. Typically, solar wind alpha particles drift faster than the protons and do not participate in these low-frequency oscillations. In other words, alpha particles “surf” on Alfvén waves. Investigating high time-resolution observations from Solar Orbiter’s Heavy Ion Sensor, we study the interaction of heavy ions with Alfvén waves. We discuss the implications for mass-per-charge dependent nature of charged particle surfing on Alfvén waves.
