Scientific paper

Consideration is given to the shell distribution formed by pickup ions in the solar wind. Numerical simulations are used to study the linear and nonlinear development of the waves and the evolution of the initial shell distribution. The linear theory is generalized to include additional effects. It is shown that unstable hydromagnetic fluctuations give rise to diffusion in velocity space and thickening of the shell distribution.
