Dynamics of shear Alfvén waves and energetic particles are crucial to the performance of
burning fusion plasmas. This article reviews linear as well as nonlinear physics of shear …

The area of energetic particle (EP) physics in fusion research has been actively and
extensively researched in recent decades. The progress achieved in advancing and …

This paper discusses the behaviour and consequences of the expected populations of
energetic ions in ITER plasmas. It begins with a careful analytic and numerical consideration …

The theoretical framework of the general fishbone-like dispersion relation (GFLDR),
presented and discussed in the Companion Paper [Phys. Plasmas 21, 072120 (2014)], is …

The excitation of collective instabilities by super-thermal particles in hot plasmas and the
related transport processes attract increasing interest due to their fundamental challenges …

Density fluctuations in I-mode discharges in ASDEX Upgrade are studied. The I-mode
specific weakly coherent mode (WCM) appears at the transition from the L to I-mode. The …

Comprehensive understanding of energetic-ion-driven global instabilities such as Alfvén
eigenmodes (AEs) and their impact on energetic ions and bulk plasma is crucially important …

A unified theoretical framework is presented for analyzing various branches of drift Alfvén
waves and describing their linear and nonlinear behaviors, covering a wide range of spatial …

We have developed a new global eigenvalue code, multiscale analysis for plasma stabilities
(MAS), for studying plasma problems with wave toroidal mode number (n) and frequency (ω) …

A nonlinear oscillation of frequency and amplitude is found by massively parallel gyrokinetic
simulations of Alfvén eigenmodes excited by energetic particles in toroidal plasmas. The fast …
