On How Zonal Fields Suppress Reversed Shear Alfvén Eigenmode in Tokamak Plasmas

Ruirui Ma, Pengfei Liu, Liu Chen +2

Employing both nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations and theoretical analyses, we have discovered the novel result that, with energetic particle dynamics kept linear, the nonlinear sup…
