Journal ArticleDOI

The HAGIS self-consistent nonlinear wave-particle interaction model

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of modeling the selfconsistent interaction of an energetic particle ensemble with a wave spectrum specific to magnetically confined plasmas in a torus is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Theoretical Interpretation of Alfvén Cascades in Tokamaks with Nonmonotonic q Profiles

TL;DR: Alfv\'en spectra in a reversed-shear tokamak plasma with a population of energetic ions exhibit a quasiperiodic pattern of primarily upward frequency sweeping as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spontaneous hole-clump pair creation in weakly unstable plasmas

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical simulation of a kinetic instability near threshold shows how a hole and clump spontaneously appear in the particle distribution function and support a pair of Bernstein, Greene, Kruskal (BGK) nonlinear waves that last much longer than the inverse linear damping rate while they are upshifting and downshifting in frequency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonlinear dynamics of a driven mode near marginal stability.

TL;DR: The nonlinear dynamics of a linearly unstable mode in a driven kinetic system is investigated to determine scaling of the saturated fields near the instability threshold, and an integral equation with a temporally nonlocal cubic term is solved.
