Abstract: An energetic proton beam passing through a stationary ionized medium, excites ion-acoustic turbulence. The ion-acoustic instability saturates due to the non-linear indirect wave-particle scattering. The electric field associated with the ion-acoustic waves accelerates the plasma particles. Applicability of the results to cometary tails is discussed.
