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 chapter reviews the progress accomplished since the redaction of the first ITER Physics
Basis (1999 Nucl. Fusion 39 2137–664) in the field of energetic ion physics and its possible …

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

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 …

Toroidicity induced Alfven eigenmodes (TAE) are observed in the DIII-D tokamak when
energetic beam ions (approximately 75 keV) are used to destabilize the mode …

It is shown that the theoretical predictions and experimental observations of toroidicity‐
induced Alfvén eigenmodes (TAE's) are now in good agreement, with particularly detailed …

In toroidal magnetically confined plasmas, eigenmodes of Alfvén waves can be destablized
by energetic ions with velocities comparable to the Alfvén velocity. With the advent of …

The response of a collisionless plasma to global electromagnetic perturbations of an
axisymmetric toroidal equilibrium is derived. By adopting a variational formulation for …

Energetic ions of order I MeV, are present in plasmas close to the ignition conditions; they
are produced by auxiliary heating, current drive mechanisms, or by fusion reactions (as in …

H modes with good confinement and small ELMs with the characteristics of type II or grassy
ELMs have been observed on ASDEX Upgrade. Such an ELM behaviour is essential to …
