Abstract
Employing ray phase-space for wave propagation, we derive the first an alytic formulas for energy transfer from a magnetosonic wave to the mi nority Bernstein wave, and the absorption profile, for plasma heating via minority gyroresonance. The profile stems from: (1) gyroresonant d amping of the Bernstein wave; (2) phase mixing of the kinetic residue.
