On the basis of a three‐fluid model with energy exchange by Coulomb collisions and heat flux degradation the ratio T of alpha to proton temperatures is investigated. For various relative ion densities and plasma parameters the collisional evolution of T is modeled and compared with Helios in situ measurements. Good agreement between data and theory is found.
