Scientific paper

It is shown that in hydrogen dominated multi-ion plasmas supporting coherent hydrogen cyclotron waves, the minority ion species with large M/Q are preferentially accelerated and the maximum energy achieved scales as (M/MH+) to the power 5/3. The importance of this scaling to O+ acceleration in the auroral zones and to other high energy heavy ion observations in the earth's and Jupiter's magnetospheres is discussed.
