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 …

This paper presents a pedagogical review of the physics of mesoscopic transport events and
their role in the breakdown of Fick's Law for turbulent transport in magnetically confined …

Superthermal energetic particles (EP) often drive shear Alfvén waves unstable in
magnetically confined plasmas. These instabilities constitute a fascinating nonlinear system …

A general theoretical framework for investigating the nonlinear dynamics of phase space
zonal structures is presented in this work. It is then, more specifically, applied to the limit …

Geodesic acoustic modes (GAM) are shown to constitute a continuous spectrum due to
radial inhomogeneities. The importance and theoretical as well as experimental implications …

The turbulent convective flux of the toroidal angular momentum density is derived using the
nonlinear toroidal gyrokinetic equation which conserves phase space density and energy …

We present an overview on one issue of practical interest for burning plasmas, ie whether
fast ions and charged fusion products are sufficiently well confined such that they transfer …

We discuss the processes underlying the excitation of fishbone-like internal kink instabilities
driven by supra-thermal electrons generated experimentally by different means: electron …

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

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 …
