ATEP: an advanced transport model for energetic particles

P Lauber, M Falessi, G Meng… - Nuclear …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
In this paper we report on the implementation and verification of a phase-space resolved
energetic particle (EP) transport model. It is based on a first-principle theoretical framework …

Ion temperature gradient mode mitigation by energetic particles, mediated by forced-driven zonal flows

JN Sama, A Biancalani, A Bottino, D Del Sarto… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
In this work, we use the global electromagnetic and electrostatic gyro kinetic approaches to
investigate the effects of zonal flows forced-driven by Alfv\'en modes due to their excitation …

Internal transport barrier triggered by phase synchronization of zonal flow with energetic particle modes

A Ghizzo, D Del Sarto, NJ Sama… - Plasma Physics and …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
The suppression of the microturbulence associated to the emergence of a spontaneous
internal transport barrier has been recently demonstrated in a system showing a possible …

Measurement of zero-frequency fluctuations generated by coupling between Alfv\'en modes in the JET tokamak

JR Ruiz, J Garcia, M Barnes, M Dreval… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
We report the first experimental detection of a zero-frequency fluctuation that is pumped by
an Alfv\'en mode in a magnetically confined plasma. Core-localized bidirectional Alfv\'en …

Excitation of Alfvénic Modes via Electromagnetic Turbulence in Wendelstein 7-X

J Riemann, SV Mendes, K Rahbarnia, R Kleiber… - Physical Review Letters, 2025 - APS
In this Letter, we demonstrate by comparison of computer simulations and experimental
results that excitation of turbulence-driven electromagnetic secondary instabilities can serve …
