Global Phase Locking in Superradiant Chorus Emissions

Xin Tao, Fulvio Zonca, Liu Chen

Coherent wave amplification in inhomogeneous systems is usually described in terms of resonance and nonlinear phase locking, but these local phase conditions do not determine how t…

On nonlinear saturation of toroidal Alfvén eigenmode due to thermal plasma nonlinearities

Ningfei Chen, Thomas Hayward-Schneider, Fulvio Zonca +7

The nonlinear saturation of toroidal Alfven eigenmode (TAE) due to thermal plasma nonlinearities is investigated using gyrokinetic particle-in-cell simulations and theoretical anal…

Frequency Chirping of Energetic-Particle-Driven Geodesic Acoustic Modes in Tokamaks

R. Wu, A. Biancalani, M. V. Falessi +5

A suprathermal population of ions is present in tokamak plasmas due to external heating mechanisms and fusion reactions. These energetic particles (EPs) can drive waves unstable, v…

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…

Excitation of toroidal Alfvén eigenmode by energetic particles in DTT and effect of negative triangularity

Guangyu Wei, Fulvio Zonca, Matteo Valerio Falessi +1

A linear gyrokinetic eigenvalue code is developed to study the stability of toroidal Alfvén eigenmode (TAE) in general axisymmetric toroidal geometry, with the self-consistent trea…

Chorus Wave Driven Electron Dynamics in the Van Allen Belts: From Coherence to Diffusion

Xin Tao, Zeyu An, Fulvio Zonca +2

The Van Allen radiation belts contain relativistic electrons trapped by Earth's magnetic field, posing serious risks to spacecraft. Chorus waves are known to accelerate these elect…
