Abstrakt: Studies ion pitch-angle scattering by Alfven waves. Accomplishment of the ion pickup process via the interaction of a moving plasma with Alfven waves; Attribution of the general ion pickup to the processes of pitch-angle diffusion and pitch-angle scattering; Intense heating of thermal ions by a nonlinear damping of the waves.
