Self-consistent solutions for the wave electric field and particle distribution function are calculated for ion cyclotron heating in non-Maxwellian plasmas. The all-orders wave solver AORSA is generalized to treat non-thermal velocity distributions arising from fusion reactions, neutral beam injection, and wave driven diffusion in velocity space. Quasi-linear diffusion coefficients are derived directly from the wave electric fields and used to calculate velocity distribution functions with the CQL3D Fokker-Planck code. Self-consistent results are obtained by iterating the full-wave and Fokker-Planck solutions.
