Alfven Cyclotron Instability and Ion Cyclotron Emission
Two-dimensional solutions of compressional Alfven eigenmodes (CAE) are studied in the cold plasma approximation. For finite inverse aspect ratio tokamak plasmas the two-dimensional eigenmode envelope is localized at the low magnetic field side with the radial and poloidal localization on the order of u / f i and u/*, respectively, where rn is the dominant poloidal mode number. Charged fusion pr...
متن کاملNonlinear current-driven ion-acoustic instability driven by phase-space structures
The nonlinear stability of current-driven ion-acoustic waves in collisionless electron-ion plasmas is analyzed. Seminal simulations from the 80’s are revisited. Accurate numerical treatment shows that subcritical instabilities do not grow from an ensemble of waves, except very close to marginal stability and for large initial amplitudes. Further from marginal stability, one isolated phase-space...
متن کاملElectrostatic Ion-cyclotron Waves Driven by Parallel Velocity Shear
Using a fluid treatment, it is shown that electrostatic waves with angular frequencies ~ ωci (ion cyclotron frequency) propagating at large angles to the ambient magnetic field can be excited in a magnetized plasma by perpendicular shear in the magnetic field aligned plasma flow. The role of density gradients in determining the stability of sheardriven EIC modes is also considered. PACS numbers...
متن کاملAmplification of electrostatic ion-cyclotron waves in a plasma with magnetic-field-aligned ion flow shear and no electron current
Experimental demonstration of the amplification of electrostatic ion-cyclotron waves in a plasma with parallel ion flow shear but no magnetic-field-aligned electron current is presented. Waves with frequencies near the ion gyrofrequency and multiple harmonics launched from an antenna are observed to grow in amplitude in a region of ion flow shear. Amplification of multiple cyclotron harmonics w...
متن کاملA Flute-like Plasma Instability Driven by Field Inhomogeneities
W e investigate the stability of ring-like plasma configurations with small Larmor radii, precessing axi-symmetrically in mirror machines. If the precession frequency increases with radius, such equilibria may be subject to a low frequency flute-like instability which is driven by field inhomogeneities rather than by the density gradient. The phase velocity of the unstable waves is twice that o...
