Abstract

The stability of toroidicity‐induced Alfven eigenmodes is investigated in general tokamak equilibria with finite aspect ratio and finite plasma beta. The finite orbit width of the hot particles and the collisional damping of the trapped electrons are included. The critical hot particle beta values for the stability threshold are numerically calculated for deuterium‐tritium thermonuclear plasma experiments.
