Nonlinear interplay of Alfven instabilities and energetic particles in tokamaks
A. Biancalani, A. Bottino, M. Cole +5
The confinement of energetic particles (EP) is crucial for an efficient heating of tokamak plasmas. Plasma instabilities such as Alfven Eigenmodes (AE) can redistribute the EP popu…
Decay of geodesic acoustic modes due to the combined action of phase mixing and Landau damping
A. Biancalani, F. Palermo, C. Angioni +2
Geodesic acoustic modes (GAMs) are oscillations of the electric field whose importance in tokamak plasmas is due to their role in the regulation of turbulence. The linear collision…
Second order Gyrokinetic theory for Particle-In-Cell codes
Natalia Tronko, Alberto Bottino, Eric Sonnendruecker
The main idea of Gyrokinetic dynamical reduction consists in systematical removing of fastest scale of motion (the gyro motion) from plasma's dynamics, resulting in a considerable…
