The non-linear saturation of whistler mode instability in the solar wind is considered here. The resulting heating and acceleration are calculated. It is shown that this instability heats predominantly the a-particles and the ratio of heating rates of a-particles to ions have been calculated. This i
Effective acceleration of particles by hydromagnetic turbulence requires that the particles be scattered at a rate v comparable with the frequency o9 of the turbulence. The only effective scattering process is due to resonant wave-particle interactions. The resonant waves are HM waves for ions with
