In the l=3 U-3M torsatron with RF produced and heated plasmas, a two-temperature ion energy distribution arises with a minor group of suprathermal ions. It is shown that a possible mechanism of fast ion generation is cyclotron heating and/or acceleration of ions by a strong RF field in the local A...
