abstract = {The motion of an ion in a lower hybrid wave in a
tokamak type plasma is studied. For ions with
<i>v</i><sub>⊥</sub> ≥
ω/<i>k</i><sub>⊥</sub>, the motion is
stochastic for fields satisfying
<i>E</i>/<i>B</i><sub>0</sub> >
¼(Ω<sub><i>i</i></sub> /ω)<sup>1/3</sup>(ω/<i>k</i><sub>⊥</sub>).
Provided that the perpendicular phase velocity,
ω/<i>k</i><sub>⊥</sub>, can be slowed down
to a few times the ion thermal speed, this stochastic
ion motion may be an important mechanism by which
injected rf power near the lower hybrid frequency can
directly heat the ions.}
