Fast-particle driven Alfvén Eigenmodes have been observed in low-collisionality discharges with off-axis neutral beam injection (NBI), electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) and a reduced toroidal magnetic field. During NBI and ECRH, toroidicity induced Alfvén Eigenmodes (TAEs) appear in frequency bands close to 200 kHz and energetic-part…
A forward modeling technique is developed for determining the characteristic features of observed MHD modes from the line-of-sight data of the soft x-ray (SXR) diagnostics with 64 vertical lines-of-sight in theTokamak `a Configuration Variable tokamak. Using diagnostics with excellent spatial resolution, this technique is shown to evaluate the polo…
