Nonlinear dynamics of beta-induced Alfvén eigenmode driven by energetic particles.
Nonlinear saturation of a beta-induced Alfvén eigenmode, driven by slowing down energetic particles via transit resonance, is investigated by the nonlinear hybrid magnetohyrodynamic gyrokinetic code. Saturation is characterized by frequency chirping and symmetry breaking between co- and counter-passing particles, which can be understood as the evidence of resonance detuning. The scaling of the ...
متن کاملObservation of reversed-shear Alfvén eigenmodes excited by energetic ions in a helical plasma.
Reversed-shear Alfvén eigenmodes were observed for the first time in a helical plasma having negative q₀'' (the curvature of the safety factor q at the zero shear layer). The frequency is swept downward and upward sequentially via the time variation in the maximum of q. The eigenmodes calculated by ideal MHD theory are consistent with the experimental data. The frequency sweeping is mainly dete...
متن کاملBasic physics of Alfvén instabilities driven by energetic particles in toroidally confined plasmas
Superthermal energetic particles EP often drive shear Alfvén waves unstable in magnetically confined plasmas. These instabilities constitute a fascinating nonlinear system where fluid and kinetic nonlinearities can appear on an equal footing. In addition to basic science, Alfvén instabilities are of practical importance, as the expulsion of energetic particles can damage the walls of a confinem...

متن کاملAnomalous flattening of the fast-ion profile during Alfvén-Eigenmode activity.
Neutral-beam injection into plasmas with negative central shear produces a rich spectrum of toroidicity-induced and reversed-shear Alfvén eigenmodes in the DIII-D tokamak. The first application of fast-ion D_{alpha} (FIDA) spectroscopy to Alfvén-eigenmode physics shows that the central fast-ion profile is anomalously flat in the inner half of the discharge. Neutron and equilibrium measurements ...
