| Abstract: | The quasilinear relaxation of pickup interstellar helium ions is described in the diffusion shell approximation. It is shown that the Cherenkov damping of Alfvén waves due to their refraction in the nonuniform solar wind could inhibit the complete relaxation of pickup helium ions over the bispherical shell. |
