The heating of ions by ion cyclotron waves in a low beta collision-less plasma such as the inner corona is investigated by fully non-linear kinetic simulation. It will be shown that ions are preferentially in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field in the first stage leading to a strong temperature anisotropy. However, ions in the parallel direction will also be strongly heated. Detailed ion velocity distributions will be presented. Ion cyclotron waves are able to make ion velocity distributions extremely non-Maxwellian. The implications for the coronal heating by ion cyclotron waves will be discussed.
