Scientific paper

The role of plasma wave-particle interactions in modifying the electron velocity distributions of the high speed solar wind is investigated. Both electrostatic and electromagnetic fluctuations are considered. It is found that interactions between thermal electrons and a small fraction of the observed wave spectrum provide a momentum exchange rate strong enough to compete with Coulomb collisions.
