Abstract According to observations, the MHD perturbations in coronal loops carry enough energy density to fuel the loops. The damping mechanisms for tapping this energy source are examined, and wave-particle interactions are proposed as a hopeful candidate. Results of analyses of the magnetosonic surface wave and the kinetic Alfven wave show that the wave-particle resonant interactions can dissipate energy fast enough to sustain the coronal temperatures.
