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 …

The area of energetic particle (EP) physics in fusion research has been actively and
extensively researched in recent decades. The progress achieved in advancing and …

This paper discusses the behaviour and consequences of the expected populations of
energetic ions in ITER plasmas. It begins with a careful analytic and numerical consideration …

Collisionless physics primarily determines the transport of fusion-born alpha particles in 3D
equilibria. Several transport mechanisms have been implicated in stellarator configurations …

Transport of energetic particles by the microturbulence in magnetized plasmas is studied in
gyrokinetic simulations of the ion temperature gradient turbulence. The probability density …

Via nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations, microturbulent transport is investigated for
electromagnetic trapped electron mode (TEM) and ion temperature gradient (ITG) tokamak …

The collective Thomson scattering (CTS) diagnostic proposed for ITER is designed to
measure projected 1D fast-ion velocity distribution functions at several spatial locations …

Nonlinear wave–wave coupling constitutes an important route for the turbulence spectrum
evolution in both space and laboratory plasmas. For example, in a reactor relevant fusion …

The JT-60SA device has been designed as a highly shaped large superconducting tokamak
with a variety of plasma actuators (heating, current drive, momentum input, stability control …

A fast-ion D-alpha (FIDA) diagnostic has been developed for the fully tungsten coated
ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) tokamak using 25 toroidally viewing lines of sight and featuring a …
