Abstract

It is found that low-n toroidicity induced Alfven eigenmodes (TAEs) excited by ion cyclotron resonance heating can be stabilized by counter-tangential neutral beam injection in JT-60U. The deformation of the radial structure of the TAE mode due to the shear in toroidal rotation is a plausible stabilizing mechanism. This mechanism is also expected to be effective in suppressing high-n TAE modes. Real time control of TAE mode amplitudes using toroidal rotation control is possible for burn control in fusion reactors
