Abstract
Losses of beam ions due to Alfvén modes are simulated for discharges in the Large Helical Device at Toki, Japan, using a guiding center code. High frequency beam particle resonances are found for the equilibria for passing particles, providing locations for the destablization of Alfvén modes observed in the device. Losses due to even small modes due to these resonances are significant.
