Scientific paper

Computer simulations of magnetosonic waves, velocity-shell instabilities, and upper-hybrid heating show evidence of a general damping mechanism for large-amplitude electrostatic waves propagating perpendicular to a magnetic field. Particles trapped by a wave of frequency omega and phase velocity V(ph) see an electric field V(ph) x B which accelerates them parallel to the wave front until the v x B force is large enough for detrapping. For omega much greater than omega sub c, velocities as large as (omega/4 omega sub c)V(ph) can be attained within a time of about omega/4 omega sub c.
