Comparison of the standard empirical proton-to-total heating ratio (solid line) to theoretical ratios computed from the linear damping of Alfvén wave spectra: parallel-propagating "slab" modes only (dotted line), perpendicular "2D" modes only (dashed line), and an isotropic spectrum (dot-dashed line).
