A toroidal Alfven eigenmode (TAE) has been observed driven by alpha particles in the Joint European Torus (JET). The observation was made in dedicated deuterium-tritium experiments where radio-frequency (RF) heating was absent, in the so-called “afterglow” period when neutral beam heating was removed. Agreement with reduced and perturbative mod…

In this work, we use reduced and perturbative models to examine the stability of TAEs during the ITB afterglow in JET experiments designed for the observation of alpha driven TAEs. We demonstrate that in JET-like conditions, it is sufficient to use an incompressible cold plasma model for the TAE to reproduce the experimental adiabatic features…
