Scientific paper

The paper presents an analysis of penetrating streams of charged particles in the transition region of the solar wind at distances of 10-20 solar radii from the sun. It is shown that a Cerenkov instability of kinetic Alfven waves (KAWs) with an increment of 0.1/s can develop in this region. The energy of the excited turbulence of the KAWs is transferred to thermal protons via stimulated scattering. The temperature of solar-wind protons increases by 20 percent as a result of the dissipation of KAW turbulence.
