Revisiting the theory of the evolution of pick-up ion distributions: magnetic or adiabatic cooling?
We study the phasespace behaviour of heliospheric pick-up ions after the time of their injection as newly created ions into the solar wind bulk flow from either charge exchange or photoionization of interplanetary neutral atoms. As interaction with the ambient MHD wave fields we allow for rapid...
