Damping of Alfv\'{e}n waves in MHD turbulence and implications for
  cosmic ray streaming instability and galactic winds
  Alfv\'{e}nic component of MHD turbulence damps Alfv\'{e}nic waves. The
consequences of this effect are important for many processes, from cosmic ray
(CR) propagation to launching outflows and winds in galaxies and other
magnetized systems. We discuss the differences in the damping of the streaming
instability by turbulence and the damping of a plane parallel wave. The former
takes place in the system of reference aligned with the local direction of
magnetic field along which CRs stream. The latter is in the reference frame of
the mean magnetic field and traditionally considered in plasma studies. We also
compare the turbulent damping of streaming instability with ion-neutral
collisional damping, which becomes the dominant damping effect at a
sufficiently low ionization fraction. Numerical testing and astrophysical
implications are also discussed.
