Energetic particle (EP) destabilized Alfvén eigenmode (AE) instabilities are simulated for a DIII-D experimental case with a pulsed neutral beam using a gyro-Landau moments model …
The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of the neutral beam injector (NBI) operation regime on the saturation phase of the Alfven Eigenmodes (AEs) in DIII-D plasma. The …

New regimes of Alfvén eigenmode (AE) induced fast ion transport in tokamak plasmas are reported, in which microturbulence plays the role of a mediator of fast ion relaxation …

A method is developed to analytically determine the resonance broadening function in quasilinear theory from first principles, due to either Krook or Fokker-Planck scattering …
In a symmetric plasma confinement device, a perturbation such as an Alfvén mode produces a resonance island which flattens the local energy gradient due to induced rotation about …
The phase-space structure of resonances between fast ions and an Alfvénic mode and the associated modification of density profiles in tokamaks are studied as a function of particle …
The 1D bump-on-tail problem is studied in order to determine the influence of drag on quasi- steady solutions near marginal stability ( 1− γ d/γ L≪ 1) when effective collisions are …

In some tokamak discharges, a number of Alfvén eigenmodes (AEs) have been observed to cause a large-scale collapse of the high energy particle distribution, a phenomenon referred …
A quasilinear plasma transport theory that incorporates Fokker-Planck dynamical friction (drag) and pitch angle scattering is self-consistently derived from first principles for an …
