Imbalanced turbulence throttles its cascade via the helicity barrier, yielding flat spectra (η<2) that invert minor-ion heating to Q_i ∝ Q_p A_i (A_i/Z_i)^{η-2}, with simulations across β_p0 confirming the (A_i/Z_i)^a trend and strong perpendicular heating at low β.

Minor Ions as a Diagnostic of Solar Wind Heating: Inverted Mass-to-Charge Scaling in Imbalanced Turbulence
