Geodesic acoustic modes (GAMs) are ubiquitous oscillatory flow phenomena observed in
toroidal magnetic confinement fusion plasmas, such as tokamaks and stellarators. They are …

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 …

Alpha particles with energies on the order of megaelectronvolts will be the main source of
plasma heating in future magnetic confinement fusion reactors. Instead of heating fuel ions …

In recent years tokamak experiments and modelling have increasingly indicated that the
interaction between suprathermal (fast) ions and thermal plasma can lead to a reduction of …

This article is a tutorial review of the interaction between energetic particles and Alfvén
eigenmodes (AEs) which is one of the important research issues for fusion burning plasmas …

This paper describes advances made in the field of energetic-particle physics since the
topical review of Alfvén eigenmode observations in toroidal plasmas (Wong 1999 Plasma …

Plasmas are created by heating gases through the absorption of ionizing radiation in the
visible through the ultraviolet part of the electromagnetic spectrum and through collisional …

Fast ions' effects on turbulence-driven zonal flow generation are investigated in the context
of a simple reduced model based on the Hasegawa–Mima equation. Fast ions' much higher …

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 …

Zonal flows and, more generally, zonal structures are known to play important self-regulatory
roles in the dynamics of microscopic drift-wave-type turbulences. Since toroidal Alfvén …
