Scientific paper

Possible mechanisms of wave dissipation in the solar wind are discussed. It is shown that an effective sink of the spectral flux of turbulence energy is cyclotron damping of high-frequency waves by plasma electrons. The corresponding value of the internal scale of turbulence is of the order of a few kilometers in the neighborhood of the earth's orbit; the dissipation of turbulence energy leads to an increase of the electron transverse temperature. Theoretical results are shown to be in good qualitative agreement with experimental data.
