Scientific paper

I review particle heating by MHD turbulence in collisionless plasmas
appropriate to advection-dominated accretion flows. These considerations
suggest that the preferential turbulent heating of protons assumed by
theoretical models is only achieved for relatively subthermal magnetic fields.
